Agricool — Agricool has been created in 2015 by Guillaume Fourdinier and Gonzague Gru with the purpose of making local, tasty and pesticide-free fruits and vegetables available to all. To do so, Agricool is recycling shipping containers into urban farms, transforming into a small paradise for fruits and vegetables (lighting, air quality, irrigation, etc.).The technology developed enables the farms to be 120 times more productive than in conventional farming, to save more than 90% of water and to be run entirely on renewable energies. Today, the company grows strawberries in Paris and Dubai, but tomorrow, the ambition is to help feed the world with all types of fruits and vegetables and be part of the urban farming movement.
