We founded AgroMe because we believe that our food supply is broken, and we can no longer trust the food we eat, nor trust any government to keeps us safe from toxins and food fraud.
We are poisoning ourselves and the environment, stealing from future generations. Basically, we are stealing from our Children. We need to empower the people, empower communities and provide the tools to produce food in a safe and sustainable way.
We know that Controlled Environment Agriculture, Open Field Organic Farming and Urban Agriculture can work together and provide a sustainable food system today, whilst laying the foundation for sustainable systems on other planets.
At AgroMe we are determined to create disruptive innovation and be part of this revolution.
Will you join us?
