#082 – Ting Feng: Kula Ai & the Future of Agriculture

  • October 9, 2018

 

Did you know we’re living in the future?

 

It became crystal clear for me during this conversation with Ting Feng, CEO & co-founder of Kula Ai & the Kulafoods App. Kula Ai is an Australian-based Agriculture tech startup that’s creating sustainable tech to find new ways to feed the world.

 

“We want to find a new way to feed the world.” –Ting Feng

 

They are using two technology-driven approaches to accomplish this forking huge task: the @Kulafoods app that connects users to all of the sustainable and healthy food vendors in their community and the soon-to-be-launched @KulaHarvest, a series of AI-powered urban farming hardware.

 

All I can say is wow. The future is now, and I’m all for it!

 

“My passion has always been to help hardworking members of communities, like the food producers, to have a platform, to have a voice, and to showcase their craft so that it’s equally as competitive as those selling in supermarkets” –Ting Feng

 

We also discuss:

  • Why they chose the name ‘Kula Ai’ & how the company came to be
  • Aspiring to create the world’s first sustainable food grid
  • How the Kulafoods app works
  • Building healthy communities, one city at a time
  • Launching in LA and NYC in the near future
  • Growing up on an organic farm
  • How the way we eat affects everything else we do
  • Do we want to eat ingredients or chemicals?
  • Urban agriculture is the future
  • The future of Kula
  • What it was like at Ting’s dinner table growing up
