Our approach

The SIDS face many problems because of their isolated geographical situation. Even though we have big ambitions to solve as many of them, we began with our pilot project: The Maldives Matter Project. Our mission is to implement local food production with Dutch greenhouse techniques. The project will be the only self-sufficient food production facility that produces crops of high quality and consistency tailored to the Maldivian tourism industry and the local markets. Currently, these crops cannot be grown locally in isolated areas and therefore they import 95% of the food products. The greenhouse will reduce the need for import, thereby also reducing the strain on the fragile Maldivian environment. To reach more resiliency, the project offers training to locals through an education program to become the grower and, eventually, to pass over the managing responsibility of the greenhouse. 

With this project, we will enhance the local economy by keeping cash flow within the country. Implement circularity by shortening the supply chain. Generating renewable energy through a solar panel field and water from the sea. With a vision for the future to collect organic waste and digesting it into energy.
