We Have One Goal
accelerate the global revolution
for pesticide free farming
The use of pesticides has, for a long time, been an attractive tool in agriculture because we have lacked knowledge about better tools to achieve food security without harming the environment. The problem is that it comes with costs to human health and our environment.
However, it is possible to achieve food security, economic security for small-scale farmers and to protect the envrionment. We now have tried and tested technologies and practices that achieve better yields than the use of pesticides – without being a risk to humans or the planet.
The time is now, to make the shift from harmful farming practices, to more sustainable ones.
The Problem with Pesticides
Pesticides are inefficient and damaging to the environment. “Growing demand for food has polluted much of the world’s water, soil and air with excess fertilisers and chemical sprays, which are remarkably inefficient. Up to 98% of a crop spray won’t stay on the plant but will instead bounce straight off, accumulating in the soil and eventually running off into waterways.” – BBC
Pesticides are also costly. “Pesticides represent a huge operational cost of running a farm, sometimes 50% of their operations,” – Kripa Varanasi, professor of mechanical engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Some of the harms of using pesticides include:
Direct impact on humans
Impact through food commodities
Impact on environment
Surface & ground water contamination
Soil contamination and harm on soil fertility (beneficial soil micoorganisms)
Contamination of air, soil, and non-target vegetation
That's where we come in.
- To implement the concept of farmer's field school - partnering with nature.
- We empower farmers with the know-how to access and make use of alternatives to pesticides via training programs in Malaysia.
- Our programs consist of theory and practical training on the use of Integrated Pest Management so that farmers can embrace more sustainable and efficient farming methods.
- To ensure that our curricula is up-to-date with emerging technologies and innovations, we have partnered with global market leaders with decades of expertise.
- By working closely with farmers and experts in Malaysia, we are also able to provide local solutions for local problems.
- Lastly, to maximise access to these benefits for all Malaysian farmers from the highlands to the lowlands, we are work closely with both the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industries (MAFI) and the Department of Agriculture (DOA) in Malaysia.
