BANTU Farm

YB Datuk Chan Foong Hin, Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food Security stated, “I am pleased to see private sectors and non-governmental organisations such as airasia grocer and BANTU to continuously support the Ministry of Agriculture’s initiatives to accentuate modernised and green agricultural methods that will propel Malaysia to new heights in food security and economic growth in the long term. I believe that this partnership will play a crucial role in advancing our initiatives for a resilient and prosperous agricultural sector in Malaysia.”

Anthony Partington, CEO of XCL Education Group added, “We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude for choosing REAL School as the kickstarter for this endeavour.

Our shared vision for sustainable urban agriculture aligns perfectly with the Ministry of Agriculture's initiatives, and together we aspire to build a young community that ensures physical, social and economic access to ample and safe food supplies at all times.”

Instilling agriculture awareness, especially at a young age is something we are passionate about. We are confident that through proper education and sustained support systems, we can rejuvenate interest in agriculture among the youth, ultimately making a positive impact on the lives of our young community.”
