By combining the best of human ingenuity and innovation, Hectar seeks viable solutions through a three-pronged approach: modeling, innovating and transmitting, in order to deploy new agricultural models and new ways of organizing work.
Today, Hectar is at once: a pilot farm in mixed farming; entrepreneurial support programs dedicated to current and future farmers; a accelerator of European Agri and FoodTech startups; a venue for impact seminars geared towards businesses; an awareness-raising space for young people and students, from fork to plate; a farm studio to model the economic and social costs of the transition to regenerative agriculture.
Hectar welcomes companies for one- or multi-day seminars to unite teams in the unique setting of a historic farm, in the heart of the Haute Vallée de Chevreuse Natural Park.
Our spaces are fully equipped to meet the needs of your event, and are decorated with care, mainly using second-hand materials.
With 7,000m2 available around the farm in the courtyard and gardens, Hectar offers a real breath of fresh air for work sessions interspersed with a variety of activities.
The pilot farm is a place of social and technological innovation at Hectar.
It enables us to model sustainable, high-performance approaches to regenerative agriculture, to innovate by testing these approaches against the real world, and finally to pass on the knowledge acquired to the entrepreneurs we support, the seminars we host and the companies we work with.
Innovations can be technological (applications, connected collars, robots...) but also social (work organization, management techniques...).
Hectar offers targeted immersions to broaden your employees' knowledge of the challenges facing the agricultural sector and the realities of farming in the field.
Experiential & practical workshops around the pilot farm, discovery or in-depth sessions on the fundamentals of regenerative agriculture, individual or collective introspection and commitment sessions: engage your employees and get them up to speed in the agricultural field, with their feet in their boots!
