#CreatingFuture and #Invincibles are the hashtags that have accompanied the entrepreneurs of this innovative Colombian startup throughout years of development and creation of their guiding star. They are recognized as the most ambitious, creative, and innovative sustainability project in these times of climate crisis, food sovereignty challenges, protection of ancestral seeds, and the poverty that affects approximately 712 million people living on less than $2.15 USD per day.
In a world crying out for solutions to urgent challenges such as hunger, poverty, climate change, and inequality, Baruk Company emerges as a beacon of hope—a paradigm of sustainability and innovation redefining the future of agriculture and sustainable development.
Beyond mere products or services, Baruk Company represents the Rolls-Royce of food production with its intelligent E-MULA bioclimatic greenhouses. It embodies a philosophy, a movement that blends cutting-edge technology, disruptive business models, and a profound commitment to the well-being of the planet and its inhabitants.
An Oasis of Hope in a World Thirsting for Sustainability
In a world where traditional food production places unsustainable pressure on natural resources and the global population continues to grow, Baruk Company emerges as an oasis of hope. Its E-MULA intelligent bioclimatic greenhouses are masterpieces of engineering, designed to optimize natural resource use, minimize environmental impact, and maximize production. These greenhouses are not only energy self-sufficient but also adaptable to various climates and conditions, bringing the potential of sustainable agriculture to even the most remote corners of the planet.
"A Model of Innovation for Food Security and Global Climate Action"
Baruk Company, an emerging Colombian Agritech startup, has captured international attention with its proposal for intelligent bioclimatic greenhouses aimed at food sovereignty and the preservation of ancestral seeds. Its participation in ClimateLaunchpad 2024, the incubation program within the framework of Climate Week NYC, concluded with remarkable achievements: third place in the Colombian national finals and fourth place in the regional finals for the Americas. This reaffirms its role as a leader in sustainable agricultural innovation.
A Revolutionary Model for the SDGs
Baruk Company's model is one of a kind. With an approach aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), this startup aims to directly contribute to the objectives of Zero Hunger, Climate Action, Innovation, and Food Production. Its system enables governments, through a B2G (business-to-government) approach, to invest in solutions that not only double production per hectare but also ensure superior nutritional quality in food profiles.
With an allocation of 440,000 hectares in peasant reserve zones assigned by the Colombian government, Baruk Company offers a ready-to-implement model that works in synergy with rural communities and the state. This collaboration can provide a robust food base in a country where food security remains a critical challenge, as evidenced by alarming rates of hunger and malnutrition. Baruk's technology enables efficient agricultural production, reduces environmental impact, and ensures a stable supply without the risk of shortages.
E-MULA: Innovation in Emulated Foods
In an effort to transform the food industry, Baruk Company has created a new segment of emulated foods. This breakthrough promises to revolutionize how food is produced, consumed, and traded globally, delivering 100% organic products with guaranteed traceability. E-MULA offers a scalable franchise model valued at one million euros, enabling each nation to adopt this innovative technology and secure its own food sovereignty.
The benefits of E-MULA provide a comprehensive solution that can be continuously adapted and reengineered thanks to ongoing data collection. This reengineering process allows for adjustments during the initial production cycle, ensuring that every crop meets the promise of nutrition and sustainability.
An Unprecedented Production System
Baruk Company has proven, both in the ClimateLaunchpad program and on the Climate Week NYC platform, that its model is unrivaled. Allan E. Figueredo, CEO of Baruk Company, received certification from CleantechHUB Colombia for his outstanding participation in the incubation program. His presentation demonstrated exceptional commitment and tireless dedication to developing green solutions to mitigate climate change, earning Baruk recognition as one of the most advanced proposals at the event.
"Ongoing development has revealed the technological tipping point that keeps us at the forefront," says co-founder Santiago Figueredo. Baruk's model represents a significant step toward a regenerative agricultural economy. By monitoring each crop in real-time and applying continuous, data-driven optimization, Baruk Company ensures that results are visible and effective from the very first production cycle, delivering high-quality foods with optimal nutritional values.
Impact at the Governmental and Social Levels
The key to this model lies in its ability to deliver immediate and sustainable results—a proposal capable of transforming rural development and strengthening local economies. A partnership with the government would enable Baruk Company to implement its system on a large scale, directly benefiting farming communities and supporting the national food security strategy.
From a government perspective, investing in Baruk means addressing goals such as reducing hunger and building long-term climate resilience, all while optimizing national resources and attracting international funding. By empowering rural communities with access to advanced technology and a sustainable production system, Colombia could position itself as a regional leader in sustainable agriculture and move toward a green and resilient economy.
