The founder of Malaysian social enterprise PWD Smart FarmAbility is known for his work in regenerative carbon farming, as well as for innovating the world's first self-sustainable vegetable terrarium, HOPE Box.
The HOPE Box is essentially "a greenhouse in a box," explained Dr. Tang. To maintain it, one does not need any farming experience or fertilizer. It only needs to be watered once in two days and given ample sunlight.
