AKAR Farm emerges as a pioneer of vertical indoor farming in Indonesia, addressing land limitations and the growing demand for healthy and sustainable crops. Since its inception in early 2022, this AgriTech company has delivered technology-based solutions tailored to urban needs.

Now, AKAR Farm is entering a new phase, with Narendra Bintang joining as Co-founder alongside Muhammad Farras to strengthen business strategies and expand innovation outreach. This transformation is also supported by strategic collaborations with ANGO Ventures and IndoTech Group, under the leadership of Oscar Darmawan. Since the beginning, ANGO has supported AKAR Farm through funding, business development, and operational strategies, while IndoTech brings fresh energy and innovative approaches to drive aggressive yet focused growth.

The synergy among these three partners forms a solid foundation that marks the beginning of a new chapter for AKAR Farm, positioning it not just as an agricultural company but as a catalyst for systemic change in Indonesia’s agricultural and food sectors.

The Three Pillars of the AKAR Farm Ecosystem

1. Akar

A supply chain solution that connects farmers, consumers, and businesses. The Akar platform streamlines farm management, ensures transparent crop distribution, and broadens the market reach of agricultural products.

1. Astama

A specialized unit focused on the construction and operation of greenhouses and indoor farms. Astama enables the development of modular, energy-efficient agricultural facilities that boost productivity even in limited spaces.

1. Umbi

A financial innovation based on blockchain technology, Umbi applies DeFi (Decentralized Finance) and Real-World Assets (RWA) concepts to tokenize farms. This opens global investment opportunities in Indonesia’s agricultural sector, where each plantation asset can be broken down into transparent, secure digital tokens that generate returns from real harvests.

AKAR Farm’s Vision

AKAR Farm champions a modern, decentralized, and sustainable approach to agriculture, maximizing efficiency in water and space usage. More than 100 plant varieties have been successfully cultivated using pesticide-free systems, creating a healthier food supply chain while empowering both urban communities and local farmers.

The transformation into an integrated ecosystem reflects a strong commitment to building national food resilience, reducing dependency on imports, and making agriculture a relevant and promising sector for the future. Driven by collaboration, sustainability, and technology, AKAR Farm is poised to take significant strides as part of Indonesia’s future food security solution.

Jangjo has initiated the Junk Revolution, a movement aimed at transforming the way we sort, manage, and process waste in a structured and sustainable manner. This initiative emerged in response to the growing accumulation of improperly sorted waste in public spaces, which poses a threat to the environment and burdens landfills.

Through educational campaigns at shopping center like Gandaria City and Kota Kasablanka, Jangjo encourages visitors to start sorting their waste at the source. Education is provided through signage, tenant training, and interactive booths.

The sorting process takes place directly at the campaign sites, involving tenants, visitors, and area operations staff. Collected waste is processed at Jangjo’s facility using the JOWI system for efficiency and transparency, before being further handled by partners. In collaboration with Indocement, waste is converted into RDF (Refuse-Derived Fuel), while Magalarva transforms food waste into animal feed using Black Soldier Fly (BSF) technology.

At Plaza Indonesia and FX, the organic waste sorting program has significantly reduced food waste that could potentially pollute the environment.

Currently, Jangjo processes up to 50 tons of waste per day from commercial areas across Jakarta. During the Astranauts 2025 event in Jakarta, Joe Hansen, Founder and CEO of Jangjo, stated that a balance between humanity and nature can be achieved through technological innovation and sustainability—exactly the spirit behind the Junk Revolution.

Going on a vacation with family is always exciting, but it often comes with its own set of challenges, especially if you’re planning a road trip to Bali with your own vehicle from your hometown. The long drive can be exhausting, your car needs to be in top condition, and there’s always the risk of a breakdown or other technical issues along the way. Instead of being a relaxing getaway, the trip could end up being stressful!

So, rather than dealing with all that hassle, why not just rent a car in Bali? Especially if you’re traveling with family, renting a car can be a far more practical and comfortable solution.

Here are some major benefits of renting a car for your family vacation in Bali:

1. Easy Access to Tourist Destinations
   Bali has countless exciting places to visit: exotic beaches, unique temples, hidden gems like waterfalls, and trendy shopping and culinary spots. Renting a car makes it easy to explore them all without having to rely on public transport or ride-hailing apps.
2. More Flexibility
   With a rental car, you’re not tied to a strict schedule. Want to start the day with a leisurely breakfast at your villa? Or spend the afternoon and evening at the beach? You can do it all at your own pace. This flexibility is especially important if you’re traveling with young children who need a slower rhythm.
3. Better Privacy
   A rental car offers your family a private space. You can choose between a self-drive or a car with a driver. Either way, you’ll enjoy a peaceful and comfortable journey. Your belongings are also safer since they stay in your private vehicle.
4. Fits Your Budget
   Another great advantage of renting a car is the wide range of vehicle options to suit your needs and budget. Many car rental companies offer various vehicle types at competitive prices.
