HOW WE DO IT
Enhancing
natural capital
Our water-rich farmland is managed according to a natural capital strategy that prioritizes the long-term sustainability and resilience of our natural capital assets, including soils, forests, water, and biodiversity. We protect the productivity and capacity of natural systems, promote the regeneration of native species, and limit agricultural production to less than 30% of our land using a discontinuous configuration to avoid, minimize or balance any significant bio-physical effects. The remaining 70% is fully dedicated to conservation and regeneration of habitats and species.
Impact-driven
approach to agriculture
Through an owner-operator model, we are able to employ an impact-driven approach to our agricultural operation, emphasizing regenerative farming practices, social impact in rural areas, and climate change mitigation, creating a net positive impact on the environment and communities.

Our Story: Investing in Water-Rich Farmland for a Sustainable Future
Aquaterra Group was established by two families with a long-standing background in the agricultural sector, who shared a vision that water-rich farmland represents a unique investment opportunity not only to generate long-term value from the finite and essential resources, but also to manage them in a manner that improves those resources for future generations.
