Results

Visible gains at every stage of the chain.

Our interventions deliver concrete, sustainable, and measurable improvements:

・Reduction of inputs and water usage: through better management of phenological stages, smart irrigation, and innovative techniques, we lower environmental impact while maintaining quality.

・Improved farm profitability:

・Optimized yields per hectare
・Strategic production scheduling
・Extended lifespan of asparagus beds
・Lower production costs
・Full valorization of produce, including secondary calibres

・Safety and reliability: our approach also strengthens crop resilience to climate risks using controlled techniques: ridge planting, greenhouse (glass, plastic, photovoltaic) cultivation, integrated pest management, use of antagonistic fungi and beneficial insects.
