Plantagon - Moving Capitalism to a Seven Generation Perspective
PLANTAGON´s mission is Functional and ecological food directly to western consumers or starving citizens of the third world.

It allows us to produce ecological with clean air and water inside urban environments, even major cities, cutting costs and environmental damage by eliminating transportation and deliver directly to consumers.
