La Revolución

What La Revolución does

La Revolución is a Peruvian non-profit association (asociación sin fines de lucro) founded in 2015 and based in Miraflores, Lima, that develops food education programs, campaigns, workshops, and educational products. The organization's core asset is its proprietary SABER COMER methodology, which uses sensory and emotional food exposure to teach children and adults to think critically about food choices, addressing senses, body, environment, and emotions rather than relying on nutrition facts alone. A sub-program called SABE: Ciencia y Cocina, funded by Innovate Peru, extends the methodology into science education by using cooking as a laboratory for edible experiments. La Revolución operates across multiple named sub-brands and campaigns, including ChocoRevolución (Peruvian high-percentage cacao), Come Bien Rico (seasonal fruits/vegetables), Azúcar Ø (sugar reduction), Riquisisísimo (cookbook and characters), Super Riquisisísimos (native Peruvian biodiversity), and Comida para Todos Perú (food security).

The organization serves four primary customer segments: children and families (the primary audience for SABER COMER workshops and educational products), schools and educational institutions (training teachers and parents to implement food literacy), corporate employees (wellness and nutrition workshops), and vulnerable communities (free food education and meal programs through partnerships with communal kitchens, ollas comunes, and academies). Distribution occurs through direct workshop delivery, the organization's e-commerce website (larevolucion.org), participation in major Peruvian food events (Mistura, Salon del Cacao y Chocolate, Bicentenario Fairs), and institutional partnerships.

The revenue model is hybrid: transactional product sales (cookbook at 90 PEN, coloring books at 25 PEN, memory games at 20 PEN, Super Riquisisísimos pack at 130 PEN, high-cacao Peruvian chocolate portions), paid workshop and corporate talk fees, themed sensory dinners whose proceeds are reinvested into free projects, and grant/partner funding for social programs (Innovate Peru for SABE, Fundacion MAPFRE for Comida para Todos). La Revolución is governed by founder Karissa Becerra Biaggioni with a small core team and operates with 1-10 employees total, partnering with government ministries, embassies, international agricultural councils, and NGOs to extend its reach across Peru's Costa, Sierra, and Selva regions.

Broad incumbents

• Share Our Strength (No Kid Hungry): Major U.S. anti-hunger nonprofit that runs Cooking Matters and connects food education with food security programs. Broader scope and budget than La Revolución but intersects on child nutrition education and vulnerable-community feeding (e.g., Comida para Todos).
• Slow Food International: Global movement promoting good, clean and fair food with strong education programs and biodiversity preservation. Overlaps with La Revolución on biodiversity/native-foods advocacy and food culture education but operates at much larger scale and scope.
