Heja Framtiden

Alpha Sennon grew up on a farm in Trinidad-Tobago, but never really liked it. He eventually built a concept around what he would have needed in order to be engaged in agriculture and see it as a viable career path. The result was WHYfarm. Enter Agriman, a superhero that teaches kids about how cool it is to grow your own food (his female counterpart is cleverly called Photosynthesista) . Ten years into the making, the brand has evolved into comic books, a Youtube channel, youth and entrepreneur programmes, merchandise, e-learning, and food products with local fruits and vegetables that are sold in supermarkets. Heja Framtiden has a paid collaboration with Stockholm Business Region and the initiative Stockholm ImpACT Days. We met Alpha Sennon at the foodtech conference Big Meet at Rosendals Trädgård.
