Made In Hong Kong: How Farmacy Integrates Farming With Data
“As a data-driven, decentralised agritech company in Asia,” he says. “Big factories with high-rise vertical farming racks—we don’t believe that is sustainable. They consume a lot of energy, and the way they transport and pack products is not sustainable and involves a lot of logistics costs. We inspire people to farm rather than farming ourselves. I give you the system and the data, you get more than 150 species to harvest from.”
That takes the form of the company’s Smart Mobile Farms: modular systems that look like a cross between a chiller cabinet and a vending machine, and that contain everything needed to grow herbs and leafy greens.
