Kisima Farm Ltd – Biodiversity Protection
At Kisima Farm in Kenya, nature and production blossom together. With the Biodiversity Protection program, the grower is restoring natural ecosystems to the land: native plant buffers, pollinator gardens, and wetlands teeming with life. This biodiversity keeps pests at bay, enriches the soil, and stabilizes the local climate. The community also benefits: with clean water, medicinal plants, and environmental education. Discover in the video how Kisima Farm shows that real growth is only sustainable when everyone grows together.
Porta Nova – Red Naomi FUTURA
With Red Naomi FUTURA, Porta Nova takes sustainable rose production to a new level. This rose combines top quality with a low carbon footprint, setting a new standard in the industry. Thanks to an independent calculation method, the Flori-PEFCR, Porta Nova can demonstrate that their rose has a footprint of just 56 grams of CO₂ per stem. In the video, you will discover how the Red Naomi FUTURA sleeve symbolizes a future in which beauty and responsibility go hand in hand.
Holla Roses PLC – Circular Farming
At Holla Roses in Ethiopia, every rose gets a second life. All green waste is converted into compost, biogas, and vermicompost within a fully circular system. This creates fertile soil, clean energy, and fewer emissions. In the video, you can see how Holla Roses demonstrates that flower cultivation should not only be beautiful, but can also be sustainable — with a concern for people, the environment, and the long term.
Hkw. Bruinen – Little Spider
With Little Spider, Handelskwekerij Bruinen introduces a revolutionary method for biological plant protection products. Tiny, lightning-fast spiders build their nests in the crop, reproduce, and effectively tackle pests such as thrips and aphids. This reduces the use of crop protection products by up to 100%. In the video, you can discover how these little helpers make a big difference—for people, the environment, and the future of horticulture.
