Ecohortum

Ecohortum, established in November 2012, is a Barcelona-based company specializing in the urban agriculture sector. The firm focuses on the design, manufacture, and sale of cultivation tables and kits, enabling individuals to grow food within their homes, regardless of season or whether it's indoors or outdoors. This initiative is driven by a business philosophy rooted in sustainable development, aiming to extend agroecology into urban and rural settings.

The company was founded by Carlos Llevat. The core offering is a modular cultivation table system designed for easy assembly, which can be put together in under three minutes without tools. This system is engineered to create a self-sufficient cycle of compost, water, and plant growth, thereby minimizing the need for external inputs. The product's design is intended to be aesthetically pleasing and suitable for various home environments. By targeting the indoor cultivation niche, Ecohortum addresses the challenge of limited space for home gardening, making it accessible to a broader audience.

Ecohortum's business model encompasses direct sales of its physical products to consumers. Beyond its core product line, the company diversifies its revenue streams and fosters community engagement by offering workshops and courses. These educational programs cater to all ages and skill levels, from beginners to those with more advanced knowledge, teaching the principles of organic cultivation in both urban garden tables and small land plots.
