MANDERLY AGRICULTURE
Introducing smart-agro in highly touristic remote islands
Overview
Manderly Agriculture is a project aiming to replace food importations in Small Island Developping States (SIDS) with local produce. We install and operate fully functional smart-farms in these remote locations that don't have a developped agricultural industry due to the hostile environmental conditions of SIDS.
These high-end touristic destinations lack a matching gastronomic offer, due to the dificult logistics involved in food importation processes.
Our business aims to support the touristic industry, that represents over 50% of these countries' GDP, through developping their gastronomic potential. Moreover, we do so using sustainable practices, drastically reducing the prices of fresh-produce and enhancing food security in these states.
Our work combines state-of-the-art agritechnology, that we adapt tecnologically, mecanically and chemically to the destination we set up our operation at.
Our
Story
Alicia Gomez Gimenez - Founder and CEO
"Manderly Agriculture is, as many other crazy ideas, a pandemic-born adventure. In 2020, I was figuring out what path my career would take as a BSc Biotecnology graduate. During lockdown, I saw a TV-show where expats living in Cape Verde mentioned the lack of fresh produce. I have always been very drawn to plants, and find agritechnology incredible. Turns out anything can be grown if we can control its environment enough. So why not there? And why not me? I I confirmed a water source, bought some solar panels, gathered some magical agricultural knowledge , and started to build very big dream."
