Heading test 1
SWEN Terra, which recently completed a first closing of €40 million, has made its first investment with GreenPods.
GreenPods is a French developer of regenerative agriculture farms, specializing in the production of nuts and orchard crops with the aim of relocating production—currently dominated by California—back to Europe, its primary market.
With the support of SWEN Terra, GreenPods will invest €30 million between 2025 and 2028 to acquire five farms and gain full control of the value chain by building its own processing unit.
