Protect, produce
and a place to be
The Mavronero Farm intends to serve as a knowledge hub for research and education on integrated farming and sustainable agriculture in Cyprus.
About us
About Mavronero
The climate crisis is one of the greatest challenges facing our generation and the ones to come. Agriculture has a key role to play here, both as a cause of environmental degradation and a victim of climate change and water scarcity.
Recognising how our actions affect our planet and the generations after us, we need to change how we do things. Aiming to accomplish stable food supply with renaturation, soil reconstruction and biodiversity recovery is our best path to long-term sustainable food production.
Our research hub and school farm covers the following subjects:
- Reforestation
- Integrated Farming & Sustainable Agriculture
- Organic Farming & Permaculture
- Soil & Water Management
- Smart Farming
