Cultivating opportunities Transforming lives Regenerating cities
ISIFARMER aims to democratise urban entrepreneurship and promote social inclusion by empowering people from vulnerable backgrounds to manage high-tech vertical farms. We transform underused urban spaces into resilient food-production hubs, reducing food waste and conserving natural resources through a zero-kilometre, pesticide-free hydroponic system.
Our Mission
We are building a network of urban vertical farms within traditional municipal markets and underutilised spaces, using Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA) to produce premium, pesticide-free fruits and vegetables, including microgreens, aromatic herbs, gourmet mushrooms and berries. Through our integrated ISI-Farm infrastructure, ISI-Campus training, ISI-Fresh market access and ISI-Connect digital platform, we empower Urban Farmers to deliver fresh produce directly to the local Hotel-Restaurant-Café (HORECA) sector. This approach reduces food waste and reliance on the traditional cold chain, while our ISI-Impact programmes help ensure that this growth contributes to greater equity and inclusion for vulnerable communities.
Our Vision
Our Values
Our culture is grounded in JEDI principles: Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion. We democratise leadership by actively reducing technical and economic barriers, enabling individuals from all backgrounds to progress from “vulnerability to leadership”. We prioritise social justice by revitalising underutilised urban spaces and ensuring that the local wealth we create remains within the communities we serve. Sustainability, Ethics and Responsibility (SER) provide the foundation for our governance as we scale.
