“Scaling Up Nutrition for the Needy through Regenerative Farming”
PPB sponsored 1,500 needy recipients with organic vegetable terrarium through regenerative farming as well as upskill recipients towards entrepreneurship when they have the basic understanding of growing food from soil biology.
PPB adopted 1,500 boxes of organic regenerative vegetable terrarium (“Hope Box”) from PWD Smart FarmAbility to scale up nutrition for the needy. The Hope Box is easy to harvest at home, fresh and free from chemicals. It is the world’s first organic vegetable terrarium grown on nutrient-dense soil with soil biology, and the vegetables can regenerate for more than 27 months (and still counting).
Todate, the Hope Boxes adopted by PPB have been distributed to the disabled, single mothers and cancer patients. Recipients are given a basic understanding of growing plants from soil and those who are more interested in looking after the terrarium will be upskilled towards entrepreneurship.
