Urban farming and hydroponic agriculture are two of Vilmorin-MKS global strategy levers. Thus, Vilmorin is one of the main shareholders of the Ferme Urbaine Lyonnaise, which inaugurated its pilot greenhouse on the 21st of October 2016. This French project completes the partnership of Mikado Kyowa Seed with the University of Chiba in Japan.
  
Beyond its financial involvement, Vilmorin-MKS collaborates with FUL at different levels: supplying the pilot greenhouse with salad seeds to run trials, and strong involvement of Vilmorin teams who provide FUL with technical and marketing advice, agronomic training and support in the set-up of the pilot.

For Vilmorin-MKS, the aim of these projects is to consolidate its strong position as a global player in vegetable seeds.
