Ferme Intégrale is a French startup that operates in the sustainable agriculture sector, specifically focusing on aquaponics, a method that combines traditional aquaculture (raising aquatic animals) with hydroponics (cultivating plants in water). The company's unique selling point is its innovative approach to food production that aligns with climate and food security challenges.
Ferme Intégrale's business model is based on creating a local, short supply chain offering of fish, vegetables, and aromatic plants. This model is designed to serve urban and peri-urban areas, providing a sustainable and local source of food. The company's aquaponic system is a symbiotic environment where waste from the fish serves as a resource for the plants, creating a circular economy within the farm.
In addition to food production, Ferme Intégrale also offers consulting services to local authorities, project developers, and companies interested in adopting their innovative production model. The company guides clients through every step of the process, from administrative tasks to the production of their first fish and vegetables.
Ferme Intégrale's revenue streams come from selling their produce and from the consulting services they provide. Their first large-scale peri-urban aquaponic farm was established in 2021 in La Baume d'Hostun, and they plan to develop more in the future.
