Introduction
At the Eni Bolgiano site (MI), a pioneering project brings aeroponic cultivation into corporate catering. In collaboration with Dussmann Italy, Agricooltur® has created an innovative greenhouse that combines technology, sustainability, and food wellness, growing salads, herbs, and microgreens at zero distance.
need
Eni and Dussmann were looking for a concrete solution to integrate fresh, healthy, and locally grown products into their corporate catering services, reducing the environmental impact of traditional supply chains. The goal was to offer healthier food directly on-site.
solution
Agricooltur® designed and installed a custom aeroponic greenhouse, consisting of:
- Aeroponic cultivation lines that spray water and nutrients directly onto the roots, without using soil;
- A dedicated germination area for the initial development of plants;
- An intelligent control system that automatically manages light, temperature, irrigation, and nutrients through dedicated software.
The cultivated varieties are selected to ensure maximum freshness and nutritional value at work, while promoting sustainable agricultural practices.
results
Thanks to the integration of the aeroponic greenhouse, the corporate catering service at Eni Bolgiano is enriched with products grown on-site, with an ultra-short supply chain and without the use of pesticides. The benefits are numerous:
- Greater freshness and quality of ingredients;
- Reduction of transport-related emissions;
- Raising employee awareness on environmental and food issues;
- A new replicable model of urban agriculture in the corporate environment.
