A 40-hectare centre of innovation where organic farming, renewable energy, advanced irrigation, and sustainable livestock practices shape the future of African agriculture.
African Farms Company is headquartered on 40 hectares of productive land in Boutilimit, Mauritania. We are building a model farm that demonstrates what is possible when modern agricultural science meets the rich potential of the Sahel region.
Our mission is to demonstrate cutting-edge, sustainable, and profitable farming methods that can be replicated across the region — empowering communities, supporting food sovereignty, and protecting the environment.
From the oases of Mauritania to the fertile plains of Morocco and the highlands of Algeria — the region holds immense agricultural potential waiting to be unlocked.
From advanced greenhouse technology to renewable energy systems, we integrate multiple disciplines to create a complete and sustainable agricultural ecosystem.
Cultivation of drought-resistant cereals adapted to Sahel conditions — ensuring food security and commercial production.
Year-round production of fresh fruits and vegetables using precision farming techniques and climate-adapted varieties.
State-of-the-art greenhouse systems for controlled-environment agriculture — extending growing seasons and protecting crops.
Drip irrigation and water-efficient technologies that maximise output while conserving precious water resources.
Solar panels and green energy solutions powering the entire farm — reducing costs and carbon footprint.
Certified organic practices including composting, natural pest management, and soil enrichment.
Responsible cattle and small ruminant farming with modern veterinary care and sustainable grazing systems.
Layer and broiler operations with hygienic housing, biosecurity protocols, and optimised feed management.
On-site production of quality animal feed using local raw materials — reducing import dependency.
Geomembrane liners for water reservoirs and soil protection — critical infrastructure for arid environments.
Workshops, field schools, and training programs for local farmers, cooperatives, and students.
Applied research in collaboration with universities — testing new varieties and technologies suited to the Sahel.
Our farm in Boutilimit sits at the intersection of the Sahel and Mauritanian highlands — a strategic location with excellent agricultural potential.
Boutilimit, Mauritania — access to groundwater and favourable soil profiles in the Trarza region.
Divided into zones for crops, livestock, greenhouses, energy production, and research plots.
Geomembrane-lined reservoirs and boreholes supply reliable irrigation water throughout the dry season.
Photovoltaic arrays supply electricity for pumping, processing, cold storage, and all farm operations.
Agroforestry belts and native plantings protect soil, support pollinators, and improve microclimate.
Storage, processing units, packaging, staff housing, and a dedicated visitor and training centre.
We are actively seeking partnerships with European and African institutions that share our vision for a food-secure, climate-resilient Sahel.
We work alongside women's agricultural cooperatives in Mauritania and the wider Sahel — providing training, inputs, market access, and technical support.
We invite European universities to use our 40-hectare farm as a living laboratory for field research on dryland agriculture, food systems, and climate adaptation.
Collaboration with organisations working on food security, rural development, and climate resilience in the Sahel.
Technology providers and agribusinesses can pilot products in a real Sahelian farming environment with built-in technical capacity and community reach.
We welcome investment partners interested in sustainable agriculture with strong social returns — job creation, food security, and climate adaptation in one model.
Engagement with Mauritanian government, African Union programs, and European public institutions to scale best practices and influence agricultural policy.
Boutilimit is located approximately 180 km east of Nouakchott, accessible by national road.
