🌿 About Ecofarm Cabo Verde

Ecofarm Cabo Verde, Ltd is a sustainable farming project, covering approximately 2.5 hectares in Santo Antão, dedicated to the production of fresh and processed organic foods. We proudly honour the traditions of the islands while embracing technological and environmental innovation.

Founded in December 2019, Ecofarm was born out of the desire to offer the Cape Verdean population — and the world — healthy, ethical foods, aligned with the global movement for more conscious eating habits and environmental care.

We produce fruits, vegetables, aromatic herbs, grains, and processed products such as jams, sauces — all handmade, 100% natural and free from artificial additives or preservatives.

🌱 Sustainable and Innovative Agriculture

At Ecofarm, we believe modern agriculture and tradition can go hand in hand. In addition to organic production, we are introducing Agriculture 4.0 solutions to Cabo Verde for the very first time — intelligent, sustainable technologies that make production more efficient and environmentally friendly:

• Installation of ground stations, soil and temperature sensors, and field stations for real-time monitoring of crops.

• Construction of large-capacity water reservoirs to eliminate the need for electric pumps, using gravity-fed smart irrigation systems.

• Implementation of solar-powered drip irrigation systems, promoting both water and energy efficiency.

These practices reinforce Ecofarm’s commitment to food security, environmental sustainability and local economic development.

🤝 Strategic Partnerships

To strengthen this mission, Ecofarm has established valuable institutional partnerships:

• UTA – UNIVERSIDADE TÉCNICA DO ATLÂNTICO: to promote scientific research and sustainable rural entrepreneurship. Partnership signing link

• UFES – UNIVERSIDADE FEDERAL DO ESPÍRITO SANTO – BRAZIL: for the joint development of smart irrigation systems and the transfer of technology to train local farmers.

These collaborations allow us to consolidate our business model and guarantee the inclusion of small producers in the agricultural value chain.

📈 Our Commitment

Ecofarm is committed to increasing agricultural productivity and supporting small-scale producers by promoting access to technology, best practices, and markets — both locally and internationally.

We aim to ensure that more young people, women and rural communities gain access to income opportunities and higher-value agriculture, thereby contributing to poverty reduction and sustainable social and economic development in Cabo Verde.
