At ESR we design sustainable solutions to waste and energy challenges.
These solutions weave together engineering and ecological thinking and
are deeply embedded in the economic, social, and cultural context of
ESR believes our future demands closed-loop design that treats waste
not as a necessary by-product, but a resource that can fuel society.

To answer this question, we turn, not to industrialized agriculture, but
to an agriculture that is both sustainable and diversified.
