Founding partner and father of the idea, agricultural entrepreneur and Member of Parliament
Antti Kangas
Antti is a long-time organic farmer from Sievi whose entrepreneurial career started at the ripe age of 18 years. During his career, he has done a lot of international trade in agriculture all over Europe. He has even once playfully said that he has visited every EU country on a dunghill.
Antti has also cleared a lot of fields - including peatlands, actually throughout his entrepreneurial career. At the same time, saddened when fields in other parts of Finland remain uncultivated, when there is no demand for fields in those areas. A few years ago, he began to think about how we could somehow turn this common climate problem into something positive for our agriculture and Finland. The basic idea of ​​Carboreal was born from this idea in numerous phone conversations over the course of a couple of years.
