City Arrow Tower Official Launch: Responding to Global Food Security Challenges Through Urban Regenerative Agriculture

via Binary News Network

Urbanization is reshaping the world, and it is reshaping our dining tables.

Traditional agriculture and lengthy supply chains are becoming increasingly vulnerable amid climate fluctuations and geopolitical complexities. This challenge is closer than we think—in 2023 alone, Malaysia imported 1.8 million tons of vegetables, costing over RM 5.1 billion. This is not just an economic issue but a matter of stability and self-reliance.

In response to this challenge, City Arrow Tower (Urban Vegetable Tower, AT) project is officially launched today.

AT Project Overview: A Patent-Driven IoT Digital Agriculture Solution

The AT project is an IoT-based digital agriculture solution powered by patented technology. Its core is the patented (PCT/MY2024/050011, PI2023002657) high-pressure aeroponic vertical farming tower—a modular hexagonal system designed for urban and space-constrained environments. It enables efficient crop growth through precise nutrient misting, eliminating the need for soil.

At its heart, AT achieves the coexistence of extreme efficiency and urban space utilization:

  • Remarkable Resource Efficiency: Saves 98% water and 99% land, operating as a closed-loop system with zero pollution and no pesticides, producing food as pure as the air we breathe.
  • Seamless Urban Integration: Modular design transforms rooftops into farms, balconies into gardens, and parking lots into food hubs—breathing new life into every idle corner.
  • Digital Intelligence: An IoT platform serves as the “smart brain,” enabling real-time monitoring and remote control, making farming as precise and effortless as managing smart devices.
  • Creating Green Assets: The system automatically quantifies carbon reduction, turning every leaf into verifiable carbon credit income, making sustainability a tangible investment.

The AT project is turning “the city as farmland” from concept to reality. We are not just growing vegetables but weaving a distributed, sustainable food production network across urban landscapes—ensuring freshness, safety, and sustainability are within everyone’s reach.

Strategic Ecosystem Backing: Uniting Top Institutions and Government Resources

Since its inception, City Arrow Tower has attracted deep collaboration from multiple international institutions and government organizations, forming a robust ecosystem of “capital + industry + compliance” to ensure sustainable growth.

  • Greenpro Capital Corp. | Strategic Investment and Project Implementation Support
    As a Nasdaq-listed company (GRNQ), Greenpro provides funding and industry resources to accelerate AT’s deployment in Malaysia and beyond.
  • GreenX Digital Asset Exchange | Liquidity and Market Access Assurance
    The world’s first Shariah-compliant ESG digital asset exchange, supporting AT tokens (AT) through issuance, trading, and liquidity provision for compliant market access.
  • Green Token (XGT) Green Digital Fund | Lead Investment and Long-Term Capital Injection
    The world’s first ESG green digital fund, leading investment in AT and injecting long-term capital through a hashrate pool mechanism to drive sustainable expansion.
  • Malaysia ESG Association | Government Support and Shariah-Compliant Certification
    Endorsed by Malaysian government policies and certified under ESG standards, ensuring compliance with Islamic finance principles to enhance global investor trust.
  • Global RWA Asset Tokenization Alliance | Global Deployment and Ecosystem Collaboration
    Integrating global capital, technology, and compliance resources to provide full-cycle incubation services—from asset tokenization and cross-border deployment to listing guidance.

Greater Kuala Lumpur Smart Farm: The “Future Showroom” of Urban Agriculture

This is not only AT’s first operational project but also Malaysia’s first fully intelligent aeroponic-driven urban ESG farm. The Greater Kuala Lumpur Smart Farm has transformed from vision to reality, becoming a national benchmark for sustainable agriculture and ESG practices—where vegetables are grown alongside replicable solutions for the future.

Key farm features, powered by “technology + sustainability”:

  • 50 Arrow Tower vertical farming systems, each producing up to 360kg annually, maximizing output in limited space.
  • AI-driven irrigation and nutrient management, enabling “unmanned” precision farming.
  • Comprehensive IoT monitoring network, tracking pH, humidity, light, and other critical data in real time.
  • Hybrid solar power system, significantly enhancing energy self-sufficiency.
  • Transparent ESG data dashboard, publicly displaying metrics like yield, water savings, and carbon reduction—making sustainability visible and verifiable.

Numbers with real-world impact:

The project is expected to produce approximately 1,500kg of fresh produce monthly, saving 190,000 liters of water, with an annual carbon reduction of 19,500kg. The farm also includes public education and training spaces to promote urban farming awareness in local communities.

This is more than a farm—it is a replicable, scalable, and implementable model for the future. From Singapore and Vietnam to Australia, similar smart farming solutions will soon spread across the Asia-Pacific region, contributing to regional food security and carbon neutrality goals.

From Kuala Lumpur to the World: Building a Sustainable Food Future

The successful launch of the Greater Kuala Lumpur Smart Farm marks a critical milestone in AT’s global expansion. By 2030, the project aims to deploy 100,000 smart towers across over 30 countries, creating a distributed, traceable urban farming network.

This network not only addresses food security and resource scarcity but also aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)—from “Zero Hunger” and “Clean Water” to “Sustainable Cities” and “Climate Action.” By transforming idle urban spaces into productive, green food production hubs, AT is driving an “from balconies to the world” agricultural revolution.

We believe that a truly sustainable future begins with every revitalized urban space.

City Arrow Tower is not just about growing vegetables—it’s about growing hope. For cities, communities, and everyone yearning for a greener life, we are planting the seeds of a brighter, more sustainable future.
