BOBST supports market gardening at the Mex site

At the start of this initiative, three young agricultural engineers who had graduated from the Geneva University of Landscape, Engineering and Architecture (HEPIA), set themselves the objective of arranging and operating a vegetable garden of 11 000 m2 as well as an orchard of 1 000 m2 on a plot near the company restaurant.

The products, cultivated according to the standards of the Bio Suisse label, will be offered to Bobst Mex staff. In return for taking out a subscription, interested employees will receive a basket of fruits and vegetables each week. This formula, that guarantees a decent salary to agricultural workers throughout the year, shortens the distribution circuit between producers and consumers, and contributes to a more responsible use of resources. In addition, site employees will be able to follow the development of crops, collect their baskets from their workplace, and even get involved in the project by participating in half-days of activities in the fields.
