Member - Sous Les Fraises

Its first projects in Paris are integrated in the context of the call for projects «Innovative Vegetation» supported by the City of Paris and the Paris Region Lab. A production site over 1000 m² was created in June 2015 in the 9th arrondissement of Paris. “Sous les Fraises” today manages more than 10 000 m² of biodiversity across France (Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Annecy), until being courted internationally. Today “Sous les Fraises” is the only French player which has already deployed real vegetable farms on the roofs and facades of buildings. Resulting from a continuous collaborative research between agronomists, architects, chefs and city-dwellers, the company now groups around ten collaborators with complementary skills : architects, urban planners, computer scientists, engineers, landscapers, biologists, market gardeners and a network of professionals who accompany in the realization of its projects. This multidisciplinary approach allows “Sous les Fraises” to design turnkey projects, tailored to economic models, anchored in their territory. Sous les Fraises” dedicates an important part of its activity to the R & D of biotechnologies adapted to the built environment, engaged in the culture of the plants, the management of water and waste. By combining innovation and sustainability, it participates in the evolution of urban metabolism and stimulates local economic dynamism by recreating a rich and fertile environment. Our know-how comes from our agronomic experience allowing us to pursue the organic vegetable farming of rare and/or forgotten exotic plants. In fact, the fruit of our labor enables us to offer 300+ varieties of aromatic plants, edible flowers, vegetables, and small fruits all grown for their taste and character.
