Hectar

HECTAR is a 600-hectare agricultural campus just outside Paris. Composed of an incubator for start-ups and innovators, a pilot farm in regenerative agriculture, and coaching programs, HECTAR also offers coworking spaces, seminars and awareness sessions for young people and companies. HECTAR aims to enhance the value given to our soils and to help farmers by supporting projects that are economically viable, ethical, and sustainable for the planet.

More specifically, the MAD Foundation supports the Maison Pédagogique, which aims to raise awareness among young people aged 6 to 17 about the respect for biodiversity and our food’s impact on our health and planet. For example, it established in october 2023 a new biodiversity parcours for children and young adults.
