LET’S FARM TO EMPOWER OUR FUTURE GENERATIONS

EDUCATION PROGRAMME – INTRODUCTION


90%+ imported vegetables consumption in the cities

CO2 footprint: 17% of total global emission

45% nutrients lost by the time they arrive in supermarkets


worst of all, we exhaust our outdoor land in exchange for green produces

currently, 60% of farmland are under threat of rapid urbanization

we must stop the vicious cycle and save our green land
time to bring farms to the urban, much closer to the consumers
we are the FIRST “Agri-Prop” tech company in Asia that builds
decentralized smart mobile in-store farms in highly urbanized cities.

we enable supermarkets, restaurants, hotels, schools, residential projects and households to


farm the highest quality standard, safe, nutrient rich and affordable crops
with pioneer indoor farming technology, full automation and modular capabilities
70% less transportation, 90% less water, 99% less space
Mobile Farm is not just about innovation but are socially innovative: each <1.5 sqm Mobile Farm saves at least 1,600 liter of
water annually, uses 90% less water than traditional farming. Moreover, it reduces 70% transportation and therefore CO2
footprint. The fully automated AgTech can grow 2,500+ plants per annum, save 99% space compared to outdoor farmland.
Safe, fresh & nutrient rich – key under COVID-19 pandemic
We are 100% pesticide free & agrochemical free to ensure food safety. Moreover, plants growing inside the Mobile Farms are
alive with roots, they are ultra fresh and able to retain 100% nutritional values. It is particularly important to consumers during
COVID-19 pandemic due to significantly high awareness and demand on fresh, safe and healthy food.
Cloud-based automation, farm everywhere in all cities
Our cloud-based platform adjusts and improves the optimal growing environment continuously, so each plant grows better
than the one before. The online capabilities also enable us to remotely monitor and control all Mobile Farm units installed in
every part of the world. Our Mobile Farm can be stacked to fit any space, easily plug into the city’s existing infrastructure.
