When we talk about farming, we don’t have to talk about acres anymore. We can talk in terms of square meters, we can talk in terms of square feet, which the yield is high sufficient for our family to consume. So this is what I’m looking at. That is the architect training in me. If…

S05E10: Sharifah Sarah, Co-founder of By Sarah, Malaysia
The first couple of years wasn’t easy. I think we spent more money than making it because the thing is, we’re doing something that’s very unique. We’re not reselling it. We’re not drop-shipping it.
