About AKAR

Rooted in Indonesia. Growing what’s next.

AKAR, meaning “root” in Indonesian, combines controlled-environment agriculture, IoT and farm operations. Our next chapter is berry infrastructure, starting with strawberries.

Our vision

Healthy food, grown locally. Everywhere.

We want healthy food to be accessible and sustainable, grown near the people who need it.

Our mission is farming the future, sustainably: combining agriculture and technology so cities, remote regions and climate-affected communities can produce food all year.

Why it matters

Three places conventional farming struggles.

Urban resilience

Farms inside the city

Near malls, hotels, campuses and rooftops, shortening food miles for dense cities.

Remote production

Food where soil can’t help

Year-round output where soil, distance or harsh conditions make farming hard.

Climate adaptation

Harvests the weather can’t ruin

Controlled environments and live monitoring protect crops from unpredictable seasons.
