The cultivation of Bazardier root salad is based on an innovative agricultural technique: hydroponics.

With this system, plants do not grow in the soil but in a balanced and tailor-made nutrient solution, rich in minerals, providing precisely all the elements necessary for their growth.

The roots are maintained in a controlled environment, allowing:

  • Rapid and steady growth
  • Optimized use of water (closed circuit)
  • A significant reduction in soil-related diseases

This technique is particularly suitable for island territories such as Réunion, where resource management is a major issue.

By investing in solutions such as hydroponics, LM is contributing to the transformation of local agriculture, while promoting job creation and building a more sustainable and resilient food model for the island.
