Agri Kulti Ltd. is an independent research and development non-profit company based in Hungary.
We are researching, modelling and establishing sustainable food systems.
Agri Kulti has been operating in the agri-food domain since 2011.
Our overall goal is to reconnect cities and rural areas by finding ecologically sensitive and economically viable ways for short- and mid-tier food supply chains. Focusing on innovative, business-based models of sustainable value chains, we are developing and implementing R&D projects. We are seeking solutions for stakeholders in the HORECA sector, counseling local governments and creating for-profit enterprises as well. Building on these experiences, we are overly active in different international co-operations, especially in Horizon2020 joint research programs.
We believe in small-scale farmers and high quality, healthy foods. Above all, we believe that the countryside is capable of providing for itself and the cities in a sustainable way with high standards and full transparency.
