Map Design for a 75 Hectare Sustainable Farm and Food Processing Factory in Akkar, Lebanon

At The Green Van, we specialize in designing and planning sustainable agricultural projects. Our focus is on creating efficient systems that enhance productivity while minimizing environmental impact.

Our approach involves integrating various components, such as compost production units and effective water management solutions, tailored for farms, municipalities, and businesses. We design everything from residential housing with gardens to extensive orchard farms and food processing facilities.

By prioritizing sustainable practices, we ensure that each project not only meets current needs but also supports long-term ecological health and economic viability. Our goal is to create a harmonious balance between agriculture and the environment, contributing positively to the local community and economy.

Design

A good design is one in which all elements synchronize and assist one another. Mimicking nature, components work together to limit, and eventually eliminate, waste. Less waste means less degradation, and higher returns on investment. Thriving systems are abundant, efficient, and self-sufficient.
