GreenPods, future heavyweight in regenerative agriculture?
“GreenPods, a future heavyweight in regenerative agriculture?”
« GreenPods has got bold ambitions. Within two to three years, it aims to operate 2,000 hectares between France and Spain under regenerative agriculture methods – i.e. 600,000 to 700,000 productive trees planted. The company is already eyeing a 500 hectare farm located on the southern side of the Pyrenees. “The objective is to reach a certain critical mass to engage directly with retailers and distributors, without having to go through any intermediary, according to Boris Spassky. We want to sell traceable products, from farm to fork.”. »

// Europe has favourable climatic conditions for nut production – we can and must produce at home
The demand is rising in Europe for plant-based diets
// The demand is rising in Europe for plant-based diets
// « Farm to Fork » vision: build and operate our own processing plant by 2026
sustainable, traceable and carbon neutral products
Several projects across Europe
- 2,000Ha committed to regenerative production in the next 24 months
- « Farm to Fork » vision: build and operate our own processing plant by 2026
- Achieve and measure our environmental goals:
- Plant 600,000 trees
- Sequester over 200,000+TCO2eq
- Convert 1,000+Ha of degraded land into organic orchards

Our pilot
by the numbers
La Granja (by GreenPods) is a state-of-the-art sustainable organic farm, 30mins south of Toulouse. It is the largest regenerative organic almond orchard in France.
Our Spanish farm
by the numbers
La Esperanza (by GreenPods) is an orchard in organic conversion located in Maella
in Aragon, in the Ebro basin. Today the farm has 30Ha of almond trees
planted (varieties: Guara, Lauranne) on the border with Catalonia.
Eventually we plan to cultivate 50Ha of almond trees and 55Ha of olive trees.
La Esperanza is the rear base of our development in Spain.
600,000 trees planted to address today’s environmental challenges
