First eco-tourism farm launched

LKE Group Sdn Bhd recently launched the first eco-tourism farm, LKE Hydroponic Farm in Bentong, Pahang, to contribute to national economic growth and create a benchmark for industry players nationwide to embrace green innovation practices. The company said its modern farming technique uses a soil-less approach to produce fruits and vegetables in a more environmentally friendly manner. It uses water as a base for the crops to grow, with lower consumption of the resource compared with traditional agriculture. It also said the method allows plantation growth rates to be doubled compared with traditional methods, and enables farmers to produce crops in larger quantities throughout the year while maintaining the ecological integrity of the earth.
