ABOUT US
WE ARE AGRICULTURE ENTHUSIASTS
We believe agriculture is one of the most underrated activities. Given the challenges the planet faces, agriculture and how it fits into nature, should get much more attention. As we are entrepreneurs and enthusiasts in food and agriculture ourselves, we encourage entrepreneurs, farmers, and everybody who is interested to engage actively and reach out to us.
We formed this association because we see sustainable agriculture globally just at the beginning, having great future potential.

DAVID
David is a West African entrepreneur. His company sources fruits and grains that otherwise would go to waste. The company produces powder for instant food and juices, without additives and preservatives. By doing so consumers are able to store the product without the need for a fridge, and bridge the nutritional gap between harvest seasons when fresh fruits are are hard to get by. David's vision is to bring young people back to farming and help West Africa getting self-sufficient in food supplies.
