About Ombaa
Europe's first one-click marketplace that swaps costly mowing for eco-friendly sheep, matched and monitored in real time.
Our Mission
At Ombaa, we're on a mission to transform vegetation management at solar farms across Europe by connecting solar farm operators with local shepherds. We believe that sustainable solutions can be both economically viable and environmentally beneficial.
Our platform facilitates partnerships that replace costly mechanical mowing with eco-friendly sheep grazing, creating a win-win situation for all parties involved while promoting biodiversity and reducing carbon emissions.
Our Vision
We envision a future where every solar farm in Europe integrates sustainable grazing practices, creating a harmonious relationship between renewable energy production and traditional agriculture while maximizing economic and environmental benefits.
The Problem We're Solving
For Solar Farms
- High maintenance costs for mechanical mowing
- Increased fire risks from dry vegetation
- Environmental impact of mechanical mowing
- Difficulty finding reliable grazing partners
For Shepherds
- Limited access to grazing land
- Challenges in finding consistent income sources
- Complex contract negotiations
- Difficulty connecting with solar farm operators
Our Approach
European Focus
We're building a pan-European network of solar farms and shepherds, starting with key markets in France, Germany, and the Netherlands, with plans to expand across the continent.
Data-Driven Matching
Our platform uses advanced algorithms to match solar farms with the most suitable shepherds based on location, flock size, availability, and specific site requirements.
Community Building
We're creating a community of solar farm operators and shepherds who share knowledge, best practices, and success stories to advance the adoption of solar grazing.
Sustainability Impact
We measure and report on the environmental benefits of solar grazing, including reduced carbon emissions, increased biodiversity, and improved soil health.
