With Kuala Lumpur having an estimated population of 1.67 million people, the need for sustainable agriculture has become an increasing necessity. Cities around the world are taking to the idea of urban farming: where food is cultivated, processed and distributed right here on the rooftops and undeveloped areas of the city centre, taking the term local produce to literally, greater heights. The benefits are endless- By growing what we need near where we live, we decrease the "food miles" or carbon foot print associated with long-distance transportation and we triple the fresh factor of the food we consume. Championing the urban farm efforts in Malaysia is Chan Ning Liang, from Agrovella Ventures, a company that is in the business of setting up urban farms and supplying modern farming solutions.
