It is a platform of urban farming and "urban granaries", for the production and development of organic crops by utilizing the available spaces in Lomé, Togo.

On the platform, you can purchase organic food, work on our vegetable gardens together, and organize a collaborative kitchen at your school or company.

We also hope to gather necessary data and statistics around the food industry for better pubic action and strategy making.

The African cities are rapidly expanding, and we'll soon face the issue of available resources in near future. The rural agricultural land, which has long been supporting the urban dwellers, is also changing, and we're more and more dependent on imported industrial products without much traceability.

However, there is a potential in a city like Lomé, which is less dense compared to megacities like Lagos, where parks, brown-field, neglected land could be used to solve this problem.
