His overarching life ambition is to work towards providing access to nutritious and adequate food for every living soul on earth; today and tomorrow. He believes that re-imaging agriculture by growing plants in a local vertical indoor farm with technology-driven controlled environment can address our food production, food-accessibility, food-waste and environmental issues.
