Why us and why now?
Our Values
We have started this journey to make agriculture ready for the future. This must be in harmony with nature, without overlooking the responsibility to feed the world's population.
And why golf? Grasses on golf courses are the most difficult crops to manage. As a start-up, we have to prove our impact. If sustainability and biodiversity are worthwhile here, then it is worthwhile everywhere under all conditions.
