Loo Urban Farm want to bring good Permaculture practices to the urban cities and build good Urban Permaculture practices in the cities. We want to make farming in the urban cities practical, commercialize-able, sustainable yet eco-friendly and as close to the nature as possible. We want to revolutionize and refine farming especially in the course of urban farming and future farming methodologies.
One of the common practices in Permaculture is to collect and use our own seeds. Why collecting seed become an important part of Permaculture, Urban Permaculture or Urban Farming? We enjoy many benefits for doing so. There are many farmers in the west who have keep their tomatoes seeds for many generations over decades.

We wasn’t good in writing our competitive edge and also presenting our innovation and initiative. Also, may be having big environmental impact is not the priority. Most of the participants are benefiting disadvantage group. I might be wrong. However, I still believe by empowering more and more homes and communities to grow own food globally will contribute to moderating global warming, reduce farmland used, and improve our health globally.
