Moroccan Agritech Sand To Green Raises USD 1 M Seed Round

Morocco-based agritech Sand-to-Green has raised a USD 1 M Seed funding round from Norwegian Katapult and pre-Seed fund Catalyst. The new funds intend to expedite Sand to Green’s operational development in order to prepare for the large-scale deployment of its Moroccan and African projects.

Sand to Green provides a long-term solution to the problems of desertification, land degradation, and food security. After three years of research and development, the business hopes to be able to deploy its plantation model in an arid climate in Morocco. According to Benjamin Rombaut, CEO of Sand to Green, the goal of this funding is to reaffirm Sand to Green’s operational and execution skills while preparing for the next stage, which is the deployment of hundreds of hectares of plantations in dry zones.
