La stévia, édulcorant naturel autorisé en Europe depuis fin 2011, est une plante au pouvoir sucrant exceptionnel, sans effet néfaste pour la santé et présentant même des vertus thérapeutiques. Jan Geuns, Professeur de la KUL et spécialiste de la stévia, expose les avantages qu’elle présente. La vidéo nous emmène également chez les petits paysans boliviens qui vivent de sa culture dans la région des Yungas. Pour eux, l’exportation représente l’espoir d’un accroissement de leurs revenus. Ils sont affiliés à Celccar, une centrale de coopératives qui s’est lancée dans la transformation de la stévia, depuis la feuille jusqu’à l’élaboration de l’édulcorant.
