OUR STORY
During the COVID-19 pandemic, our founders, Jing and Nicole, embarked on a 3000km drive into Thailand as border restrictions were lifted. What began as a much-needed break turned into a journey of discovery. They were curious about the state of their neighboring country, which is heavily reliant on tourism, and were surprised to find that Thailand was not at a standstill. Food prices remained stable, thanks to the country’s extensive network of domestic food suppliers and impressive self-sufficiency in food security.
Inspired by Thailand’s model, Jing and Nicole saw an opportunity to merge their passion for environmental protection with a business idea. They embarked on a research journey to enhance food security and reduce waste in Malaysia. This led to the creation of their first proof-of-concept unit: an aquaponics system integrating Black Soldier Fly Larvae (BSFL).
After a successful pilot launch, Jing and Nicole’s innovative approach earned them a spot in Petronas SEEd Lab’s Social Enterprise Accelerator Program. With an expanded team, they are now on a mission to save the environment while improving food security in Malaysia.
