• Les Nouvelles Fermes

  Led · Series A · Sep 2025

  Les Nouvelles Fermes operates closed-loop aquaponic greenhouses that pair trout farming with vegetable cultivation, using seven times less water and emitting roughly half the CO₂ of traditional farms. The company already runs a 1,000 m² pilot in Lormont (opened 2019) and a 5,000 m² facility called “Odette” in Mérignac (opened 2022). It is now developing a two-hectare site on reclaimed land in Carrières-sous-Poissy—set to be Europe’s largest aquaponics farm—scheduled to open in spring 2026. That farm is projected to yield up to 250 tons of produce and 60 tons of rainbow trout annually, supplying supermarkets (70 %), food-service (15 %), and direct sales (15 %) within 50 km of the site. Yields run 2.5-to-12× higher than open-field methods; tomatoes, for example, reach 10 kg per plant per season. The facilities combine low-tech elements (no heating or artificial lighting) with high-tech systems such as 52 connected sensors, in-house ERP, and robotics for crop treatments. Management plans to replicate the model at 15 sites across France and Europe by 2030, positioning the firm among a handful of advanced aquaponics players worldwide. The recent €5 million Series A round strengthens its balance sheet as it scales this third-generation farm design.

• TOOPI Organics

  Participated · Series A · Sep 2023

  Toopi Organics develops plant biostimulants derived from the fermentation of human urine. Its first commercial product, Lactopi Start, launched in France and Belgium and is approved for organic farming in five EU member states to aid early growth and phosphorus uptake. The company collected urine from almost 2 million EU citizens via waterless urinals at motorway rest areas, theme parks, and festival partnerships across several countries. Toopi plans to scale with a first full-scale industrial site in France in 2025, a second in Belgium, and two additional factories later in the EU. It will launch 120 agronomic trials across six target member states to test products on local crops and begin exports. Toopi closed a €16M Series A in September 2023 and has been awarded additional funding from the EIC Accelerator to ramp production and product development. Toopi Organics has developed a patented fermentation-based root biostimulant, Lactop Start, produced by stabilizing, hygienizing and fermenting collected human urine inoculated with bacteria to yield a concentrated microbial product. The biostimulant is used alongside mineral fertilizers and, according to the company, can cut synthetic fertilizer needs by up to 50% while maintaining yields and saving farmers 20–40% on fertilizing costs depending on input prices. Founded in 2019 and based in France, Toopi collects urine from motorway rest areas, theme parks, festivals and other public sites through partnerships such as VINCI Autoroutes, Futuroscope and WC Loc. The company holds regulatory approval from ANSES and is authorized to market its product in Belgium, Greece, Spain, Italy and Portugal. With the new €16M financing (an €11M Series A plus €5M in non-dilutive government funds), Toopi plans to expand its urine-collection network, launch three new urine-based products, hire a sales team and build two industrial sites in France and Belgium. By 2027 the startup aims to collect and convert more than 2 million liters of urine and have its biostimulants on 600,000 hectares of European crops.
