Cool, isn't it?

What if

- you could eat healthier

- by having access to local products

- while save money and time?

That's what Harold, a management student, decided to offer via his start-up, Greenis, with a simple aim: change the world.

So, what is this about?

It's about a greenhouse of 10,5 m2 than sustain a four-members family you can rent and install on your roof, garden or yard. Then, you can garden it yourself with your neighbors, friends or colleagues (don't even need to be an agronome, we promise you!).
Otherwise, if you're really not into gardening, you can just pick up the fruits and vegetables by choosing the option "deluxe greener".

How does it work?

The greenhouses are based on the principle of aquaponics. In fact, they are inspired by natural ecosystems, so they combine bacteria, fish, and all kinds of fruits and vegetables. The fishes reject components which can feed the crop plants and the plants feed filter water for fishes in return. A natural virtuous circle!

Need other arguments? Thanks to aquaponics:

* You save 90% of water

* Crops grow 2 to 3 times faster than usual

* The greenhouses are almost self-sufficient in energy !

People, companies, schools, hospitals, associations... Go for it!
