IT WAS not that long ago when Tony Yong and Emil Jihad, business partners in the food and beverage industry, made the decision to further work together on an urban farming project in Bandar Utama, Petaling Jaya.

Their first venture was on the rooftop of One Utama Shopping Centre. It was subsequently relocated to an area in between the Avanté Hotel and Shell petrol station in Bandar Utama called Utama Farm.
