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.”. »
