It was 2014. Corporate life in Singapore unfolded into just another day for Karthik. Until a new assignment landed on his desk. It was a consulting project that sought to tap into understanding the future of farming
‘What lies ahead!’ An unearthing into this topic suddenly offered exposure to a whole new world of farming. Technology, Transformation, Hydroponics, Vertical farming, Urban farming etc became words that drew an immense fascination for Karthik.
It dispelled earlier convention of farming being of an era gone by limited to the hinterland or then as a retirement draw. It was here and now. It became more real when several events and thoughts coincided simultaneously. Singapore’s vision of 30% local produce by 2030, the value of sustainability in the farming process that must be optimised and the wellness and nutrition advantage. It was then when corporate life saw its timely end and led to a world of growing both a passion and leafy greens.
