About

A strong passion drives their lives towards dedicating it to protect the planet and eradicate misery, poverty and hunger. The outlook is well-known to all: increasing population, inevitable climate change, and forced migration driven by human and natural causes, risk of even more pain and suffering on innocent lives. This great aspiration translates into a humble start in rural Sierra Leone. Here, they are working hard to increase food security, production, and nutritional diversity to create more value at the farmer level. They treat the soil that nurtures tehir food as humanity's greatest asset.

Their model is simple. They believe that the interaction between people and technology can generate real structural change. There is no room to spread obsolete technology that increases the divergence between developed economies and the countries where they work. However, there is a need to develop smart business models to enable farmers to access the best available machinery, agricultural practices, and technical advice in a way that is economically beneficial for all parties. And that's what they do.

Their team is as diverse as it can get, with innovators and passionate change-makers from North and South America, Europe, Asia, and Africa, with professional backgrounds ranging from technology to agronomy to business and development. This diversity nourishes them with ideas that are reflected in their innovative business models and impact-driven development. They believe in their work's long-term purpose, making this adventure their lifestyle.
