Manifesto
Cultivate develops, builds and operates productive and sustainable urban farming ecosystems. We are designing ambitious projects to re-imagine the way we produce, transform, sell and consume hyper-fresh and ultra-local produce with minimum resources.
The impulse on sustainable cities, the emergence of disruptive farming technologies (AgTech), and the principles of the circular economy are new levers to rethink our agri-food value chains. We strive to reconnect urban populations with their food production and consumption at a local level to bring back fresh, healthy and tasty products. As we go, we aim to create a community of like-minded people caring about what they eat and its impact on the planet, by hosting various activities and events at our farms.
For each project, Cultivate aims for for technical excellence, thorough business rationale & environmental responsibility.
