The students from the University of Cauca showcased their research advancements on the biological potential of wild garlic from the municipality of Silvia and innovation in trout products, presenting four papers as speakers during the event held from October 7 to 10, 2024, in Quito, Ecuador.

Professors Maite Rada and Diana Chito supported these research projects, highlighting the power of wild garlic cultivated in Silvia as a natural biocide and antioxidant, as well as the diversification of the regional trout market through the development of innovative products, such as canned trout fillets in various liquids (brine, herbs, etc.).
