I’ve long been aware of Mehdi’s commitment to create a company whose mission is harmoniously aligned with the development of the people who make it up and the ‘care’ of its entire environment. His ‘enlightened’ humanism is contagious! Over the last 5 years, I’ve also got to know the Agronutris team and its passionate creators. It’s a real pleasure to be able to follow them more closely and make my own contribution to this adventure.” – Jean-Marc Nozeran.
