About the Company

We are a bio-farming focused social enterprise designed to address three of the world’s most pressing concerns:

• Nutrition deficiency
• Climate change
• Farmer livelihoods
  

We do so through a unique, hub-and-spoke model designed to be sustainable and scalable.

Regenerative Agriculture

The company's farming practices push the bar well beyond conventional organic into standards that are now being recognized as Regenerative Organic (a term initiated by The Rodale Institute).

Key Dimensions Include

• Companion cropping
• Crop sequencing
• Photosynthesis support
• Soil life enhancement through microbial culture
  

All of which significantly enhances the bio-availability and nutrient density of the produce.This unique new design was recently awarded the Food System Vision 2050 Prize by Rockefeller Foundation and has been selected as one of the finalists at the Global TFF Challenge 2021: “How to feed 10 billion people by 2050 on a hotter planet?”.
