Located in the Belgian countryside, Pachaland is fostering entrepreneurship around land regeneration to achieve more resilient food and energy systems.
Pachaland is dedicated to advancing entrepreneurship in land restoration for resilient food and energy communities. Through their startup studio, they incubate ventures that empower farmers to cultivate food and biomass while actively fostering biodiversity regeneration. Their aim is to go beyond mere harmony with biodiversity; they strive to facilitate the regeneration and abundance of diverse ecosystems. They welcome aspiring co-founders to join them on this transformative journey.
Nestled on a picturesque 4-hectare parcel, their grounds serve as a hub for numerous experiments, including holistic planned grazing, biochar production, hot composting, worm composting, compost tea brewing, seed extraction, seedling cultivation, and greenhouse trials. Volunteers enthusiastically contribute to these initiatives, fostering a vibrant community of learning and innovation.
Strategically situated amidst vast conventional farmland, their land-restoration center serves as an ideal testing ground for pilots and refining go-to-market strategies in collaboration with neighboring partners.
They extend an open invitation to schools and corporations seeking to deepen their understanding of land restoration and entrepreneurship.
