As part of Grodan’s ongoing commitment to sustainability, we’re proud to share the revolutionary findings of a collaborative initiative with G-STAR, a pioneering denim brand. In an era where sustainability is more than just a buzzword, the initiative is working on unveiling an innovative solution to the environmental challenges posed by traditional cotton farming. On May 29, 2024, G-STAR introduced: Homegrown Denim, a project that marks a significant milestone in sustainable fashion. This initiative is a result of a collaborative effort with Wageningen University & Research, Dutch Cotton, Inno Growers, and Grodan, highlighting the power of partnership in driving sustainability forward.
It wasn’t that long ago, in the early 2000s, that greenhouse growers were working without climate screens or even lighting crops over winter. Andrew Lee, Knowledge Manager at Grodan, says that energy efficiency was nowhere near where it has come today.
El sistema de cultivo sin suelo de Grodan evoluciona continuamente, prometiendo altos rendimientos de cultivos constantes y de alta calidad para una población en crecimiento.
La piedra y el cultivo de plantas van perfectamente de la mano. Transformar y utilizar un recurso natural abundante en beneficio de la humanidad es algo que nos parece bastante mágico y emocionante.
