Potager Farm CEO Mario Gatineau grew up in the French countryside as the son of a beekeeper and botanist. When pesticides used in local farming killed around 80 percent of his father’s bees he dedicated himself to finding new environmentally sustainable ways to produce food. Today he is launching a vertical farm in the heart of Berlin. This controlled environment farming in vertical towers is gaining popularity as the agricultural sector looks for new ways to farm food sustainably.
