David & Goliath Farms' journey is a testament to innovation, determination, and the relentless pursuit of a sustainable future. This was stated by Dr Lal Bhatia, Chairman of David and Goliath Farms, during an exclusive interview with the Gulf Today, adding that like many startups, David & Goliath Farms faced significant obstacles in securing traditional funding for their innovative agricultural project.
"High interest rates, stringent credit checks, and economic volatility made raising equity seem like an insurmountable challenge. Refusing to let rejection crush their spirits, the farm's founders turned to a unique solution: carbon credits. With unwavering resolve, they embarked towards the world of climate finance, seeking innovative solutions to realise their groundbreaking vision." Bhatia added.
