There is a never-ending demand for fresh produce and the lack of suitable urban farming land in the middle of emerging urban cities like Kuala Lumpur. As a solution, roofs are being viewed as a suitable space for growing food and a bold measure in the building of a sustainable future for the cities.
The location of these rooftops can be chosen keenly for its strategic location allowing direct tangible connections between farmers and the consumers since the crops will be delivered fresh in an unprecedented time. Converting rooftops to green roofs is becoming the new trend in emerging urban areas globally whose aim is to boost urban agriculture. In a faultless agriculture production ecosystem,agriculture value chain participants require a secure, transparent, trustworthy platform and a market place fueled by democracy while the authenticity of urban agriculture is closely related to its contributions to the development of a sustainable and resilient city that is food secure, highly productive, environmentally healthy and socially inclusive.
With the spirit of the human building as their principal aim, Vfarm was started to spur the growth of social-economic equity through ideas and projects that are sustainable. It has collaborated with relevant stakeholders and strategic technology partners for the provision of the elements needed which are technology, construction, blockchain, internet of things(IoT) and branding.V farm understands that their economic module is to remain profitable. Without profit, the business wouldn’t sustain and any potential impact would be severely affected. Vfarm believes making a positive impact on society is important.
VFarm model.
VFarm is based on a revolutionary, patented agricultural technology with innovative devices to ensure curated growth of crops. The technology has been researched,tested and prototyped by prolific national research institute in 2014 through a “crop factory” incorporated with the latest vertical farming and green technologies such as LEDs,NFT hydroponic system,automated irrigation and fertigation system among others that are designed to meet the Malaysia Good Agricultural Practices (MyGAP),Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) and Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) specifications and requirements.
The ecosystem covers the complete supply chain processes.VFarm DLT blockchain layer makes an unchangeable record for each batch of products so as to enable verification of source of kernel, planting curation and conditions of transport. In this farm, recent farming technology like the highly efficient LED lighting system with the adjustable color spectrum and lighting power to boost sugar accumulation in plants giving the more growth energy is used. There is also automatic adjustment of temperature, irrigation and nutrient balance for each specific plant variety to allow for the average crop yield.
The inbuilt nutrient solution unit controls and manages the allocation of nutrient elements while the biofilter nourishes the solution with the beneficial bacteria. Through this ecosystem, VFarm helps to improvise time markets while at the same time reducing agriculture value chain costs and incapabilities.
CONCLUSION.
The world urban population is anticipated to double leading to a growing number of urban poor. Urban population expansion is more rampant in developing countries due to the immigration from rural areas by people in search of food, employment and also security.
This has become a trend, accelerating, and research shows that by the year 2030 it's expected that around 60 percent of the world’s population will be living in the cities. Such rapid urbanization and the harsh reality of urban poverty requires immediate strategies to be implemented in order to ensure adequate food supply and distribution systems to deal with escalating levels of urban food insecurity.
Within the reality of unemployment, poverty, hunger, and even malnutrition, urban agriculture has become a key component of the survival techniques of disadvantaged sections of the population while also availing a noticeable contribution to the urban fresh food supply chain.More importantly, urban agriculture has become a source of employment and income and has the potential to significantly improve the nutrition of poor urban residents.
