(Singapore Agritech) HR & General Affair Head

About the Company:

Founded in 2019 and based in Singapore, our company is at the cutting edge of addressing the critical challenges posed by climate change through sustainable agricultural innovations. In light of the anticipated need for a 50% increase in food production by 2030 to support a global population nearing 9 billion, coupled with the demands for 45% more energy and 30% more water, all while reducing emissions, we are dedicated to narrowing the agricultural yield gap and reducing the carbon footprint of this sector, which is currently responsible for 30% of global emissions. Our operations have expanded to Myanmar and Cambodia, where we have partnered with over 2,500 farmers across 9,000 hectares. Our commitment extends beyond immediate climate action to fostering rural prosperity, with an ambitious goal to influence the practices of 100,000 farmers in Southeast Asia within five years, positioning us as a leader in sustainable agricultural solutions in the region.

At our core, we are driven by the imperative to significantly increase food production by 2050 to achieve net-zero emissions, a challenge compounded by the struggles faced by 500 million smallholder farmers worldwide. These farmers, who are responsible for producing 30% of the world's food, are increasingly burdened by rising fuel and fertilizer prices and soil degradation. Our mission is to enact meaningful change that not only benefits the environment but also supports the livelihoods of these essential contributors to the global food supply. Our story is one of innovation and commitment to transforming the agricultural landscape into a model of sustainability and efficiency, ensuring food security and environmental stewardship for generations to come.
