VFarm system is a proven, research backed urban farming technology licensed by Agrosky Sdn. Bhd (ASSB), a vertical farming specialist. The system provides a DLT blockchain layer that creates an immutable record for each batch of produce as to enable verification of source, planting, packaging and distribution. This in turn enables ecosystem users to not only have total traceability of the produce on food safety but also drive social impact via informed choices on their purchases.
VFarm's economic model is based upon Social Enterprise (SE) in line with The United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). SE are the future of development because it is able to solve some of the development problems that neither donors nor government have been able to solve. These are innovations that involve behaviour change and therefore need to harness all of the energy present at the Base of Population (BOP).
VFarm believes that a community-driven ecosystem that fosters entrepreneurship, fuelled by high- quality content and rewards and hosted on a blockchain- based platform is the solution.
Though vertical farms can never be expected to replace traditional farms, it is likely that they will have to complement each other to meet the food demands of tomorrow. It is economically sensible, environmentally friendly, tech-savvy, and most importantly, health-sensitive. Vertical farming is not a fairy tale anymore, it is happening now.
Issue
The world population is moving to urban areas at an increasingly rapid pace and with it comes food shortages and water shortages, disease and income disparity. From 2020- 2025, dense urban cities worldwide will house more than 4.5 billion people and current agricultural practices can only provide for 30% of the required produce. Such rapid urbanization and the harsh reality of urban poverty require ad hoc strategies to ensure adequate food supply and distribution systems to address escalating levels of urban food insecurity. Besides the growing demand for food, there is a rapid increase of poverty, unemployment, hunger and malnutrition in the urban and peri-urban environment around the world. Within this reality, urban agriculture has become a key component of the survival strategies of poorer sections of the population while also providing a significant contribution to the urban fresh food supply chain. Urban agriculture is also a source of employment and income, and has the potential to improve the nutrition of disadvantaged urban residents.
Solution
There is a pressing and urgent need to provide these increased masses with sustainable food. The technology that provides an answer to this problem will be at the epicentre of a USD$317 billion agricultural revolution.
And the answer is a high-density vertical farming system capable of producing 360 times per square foot more produce than conventional farming and is capable of producing plants for food, cosmetics and medicine. The system also needs to be capable of quick deployment to any city in the world.
Ecosystem users can see the environmental (water usage, carbon footprint, nutrient use) impact and socio-economic inclusivity (impact of their purchase decisions). VFarm aims to revolutionize urban farming by licensing VFarm System module globally.
VFarm system can be applied for the planting, production and distribution of plants for the use on food, cosmetics and medical purposes.
VFarm fundament markets of Kuala Lumpur & London comes with the collaboration from it’s stakeholders for the use of stakeholder which owns A-List buildings in the golden triangle of Kuala Lumpur and Central London.
With the combination of high demands of fresh produce and dearth of suitable urban farming land in the middle of an emerging urban cities like Kuala Lumpur, roofs are increasingly being seen as a plausible space for growing food and a proactive measure in building a sustainable future for cities. Indeed, an abundance of unused rooftop spaces prevails. The location of these rooftops can be carefully chosen for its strategic location, enabling direct tangible connections between farmers and consumers, as the crops will be delivered fresh in an unprecedented time. Besides the communal economic effect, converting rooftops into green roofs has become a rising trend in emerging urban areas around the world, that aims to "scale up" urban agriculture, as well as supplanting inorganic, lifeless roofs with vibrant greenery cityscapes and balance an otherwise bleak horizon of concrete and tar.
In a seamless agriculture production ecosystem, agriculture value chain participants need a secure, transparent, trustworthy platform and a democratic marketplace while the viability of urban agriculture is closely related to its contributions to the development of a sustainable and a resilient city that is socially inclusive, food secure, highly productive and environmentally healthy. A sustainable, secure and transparent agriculture practices are indeed one of the most imperative pillars for the survival of humanity.

With the spirit of human building as our principal guideline, VFarm was initiated to spur the growth of social economic equity through sustainable ideas and projects. By collaborating with relevant stakeholders and strategic technology partners in providing the elements needed (Technology, Construction, Blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), Branding), we aspire to create a world class human capital growth through our social enterprise economic model.
VFarm recognizes that our economic module is to remain profitable. Without turning a profit, the business wouldn’t sustain and any potential impact would be severely hampered. Nevertheless, we have much bigger goals than revenue and profit, as making a positive impact is an imperative. Our founders are committed in combating social economic inequality by combining social responsibility with entrepreneurship to spur the growth of social economic equity. This has been proven through our economic module as it covers 14 of 17 UNDP Sustainable Development Goals related to agriculture.
VFarm is based on a revolutionary, patented agricultural technology with innovative IoT devices to facilitate the curated growth of crops. VFarm farming technology have been researched, tested, and prototyped by prolific national research institute in 2014, through a "Crop Factory' incorporated with latest vertical farming and green technologies (such as LEDs, NFT hydroponic system, automated irrigation, and fertigation system, Etc), designed to meet the MyGAP (Malaysia Good Agricultural Practices), GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point) specifications and requirements.
VFarm eco-system covers the entire supply chain processes. VFarm DLT blockchain layer makes an immutable record for each batch of produce as to enable verification of source of kernel, planting curation and transport conditions. In our farm, latest vertical farming technology such as the highly efficient LED lighting system with adjustable colour spectrum and lighting power to boosts sugar accumulation in plants giving them more energy to grow is applied. Temperature, irrigation, and nutrient balance are also automatically adjusted for each specific plant variety to allow for the average crop yield with VFarm is higher compared to a greenhouse or the traditional outdoor cultivation. The built-in nutrient solution unit controls and manages the allocation of nutrient elements, while the biofilter nourishes the solution with beneficial bacteria. Through this eco-system it helps to improvise time markets, while reducing agriculture value chain costs and inefficiencies.
VFarm has commenced the build on our first farm in the golden triangle of Kuala Lumpur in May 2019, and is expected to yield the first batch of crops by the end of July 2019. The first farm is designed to produce 20 tonnes of crops monthly which will be marketed through contract farming.
