The tree at the heart of our future
Alphatech Agriculture brings together two trades this sector rarely sees in the same place: the execution of acquisitions and plant science. Its activity is based in France, where the nursery industry is concentrated.
we know how to
- select.
- propagate.
- create value.
Making plant capital a lasting economic force.
Mission
Building the leading player dedicated to the selection and propagation of trees and perennial species, for three families of value creation.
- Food : Orchards, fruit agroforestry, production value chains.
- Industrial : Timber, bio-based materials, ornament and landscape.
- Energy and environment : Energy wood, hedgerows, carbon sequestration, shade.
A word from the Chairman
We created Alphatech Agriculture with a simple conviction: the tree is one of the best investments one can make for the decades ahead.
Forests dying back, cities suffocating, farms looking to diversify: the need for trees has never been greater. Yet the nurseries able to meet it are often small businesses, rich in precious know-how but alone in the face of these challenges.
Our role is to bring them together, and to give them the science, the technology and the resources of a group, without ever losing what makes them valuable: knowledge of plants and of the land. We do this with patience, because a tree is thought of across several generations.
