Sustainable food production lies at the nexus of the sustainable development challenge. Land use, water, energy, health, resource use, and biodiversity concerns intersect the requirements for increasing amounts of food across the globe. This is affecting our global, national, and local economies significantly. In striving for a sustainable society, sustainable agriculture has been a key focus point of our work. Since 1999 we have researched, consulted, developed, and executed multiple innovative food systems - look at the bottom of the page for some example projects.
We work with various partners along the supply chain of food, from resource and production to retail, delivery, and recycling resources. We support partners in Asia, the Middle East, Australia, the Americas, and Europe with work on new concepts, such as vertical agriculture, innovative greenhouses, polycultures, and urban agriculture. We deliver strategies, feasibility studies, concept plans, facility designs, and implementation.
