Demand Evidence

With the current crises, more and more people are looking for ways to produce goods without spending so much money; that’s why a biofactory could solve many problems, from waste management to pest control. And this model can be replicated or simply sold.

My main competitors are sellers of conventional agricultural supplies. But my business falls under the category of non-conventional agriculture; plus, I offer both a product and on-site expertise so that people can see how it’s done and what the results are.

Founder Expertise

I am an organic agriculture technician, a plant micropropagation assistant, and a specialist in oyster mushroom production—from mycelium to post-harvest—but above all, I am a female farmer who has had the opportunity to put her knowledge to good use.
