Our fresh produce is the daily reward from our organic gardens.

With the research teams of the Archipelagos Institute made up of at least 100 people, both at sea and on land, we collectively win the daily challenge of achieving food self-sufficiency, producing almost all of our nutritional needs from garden vegetables, all year round.

We are not farmers, we are; marine biologists, oceanographers, zoologists, cartographers, chemists, microbiologists, environmental lawyers, communication specialists, and more. Yet all of us, in rotation, dedicate the little time left from our scientific work to contribute to the cultivation and care of our gardens.

We believe we cannot authentically speak about protecting the environment while consuming the – often harmful – products of the conventional market. Nor can we do so if we do not minimize the environmental footprint of our daily way of life.

Let us all, those of us who have the ability, dare to produce our own food. All it takes is soil, water, a living and healthy seed, and knowledge that we can grow day by day.
