Sustainable Finance Initiative’s Post

Our members were truly inspired following our recent after-hours Farm Field Trip to Common Farms in Hong Kong. The innovative indoor farm is reshaping traditional food systems in one of the world's most densely populated cities. Founder and CEO Jessica Naomi Fong shared her journey of addressing food vulnerability, waste, and climate change through sustainable farming practices. During the tour, we gained insights into Common Farms' holistic approach, which seamlessly integrates technological, environmental, and economic factors to establish a sustainable indoor farming operation. As we explored the farm, we were fortunate enough to taste freshly grown greens with intense flavors, providing a sensory experience that truly highlighted the transformative potential of sustainable agriculture. 🌱 #sustainablefinance #foodsystems #impactinvesting

Having grown up in Norfolk in the UK, I’ve seen my fair share of farms over the years and believe me, there was nothing common about Common Farms! Utterly unique to be able to visit a farm in the middle of a huge city like Hong Kong and to gain a better understanding of the incredible work that Jessica Naomi Fong and her team are doing around sustainable agriculture…with not even a combine harvester in sight! 😉
