One thing that genuinely surprised me after posting our opening for a Head Agronomist / Head of Farm at Urban Greens was the overwhelming number of international applicants, particularly from India (20+), Pakistan (10+), and that one from Zimbabwe (you know who you are).

It was quite revealing to see how many people globally are searching for opportunities in agriculture and sustainability.

I also had to read through applicants specialized in managing cattle, poultry, or banana plantations... which is very different from operating a controlled-environment urban hydroponic greenhouse in BGC... ok you shot your shot but... no... you do not fit the profile.

For now, we are still primarily focused on finding strong local talent here in the Philippines, but we genuinely appreciate every SERIOUS application that aligns with the role of HEAD AGRONOMIST and HEAD OF FARM and vision of Urban Greens.

Filipinos > please apply or forward to potential candidates!

Everyone talks about urban farming.

Very few have actually done it—at scale, over time, and in a market like the Philippines.

For the past 10 years, I have.

Not from a desk. Not from a single pilot project.
But across 20+ farm sites—designed, built, operated, and, yes, sometimes painfully reworked.

We’ve tried it all: vertical farms, tower systems, A-frames, indoor LED setups. Every configuration that promises to “revolutionize” food production.

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:

Most of it doesn’t work here.

Not because the technology is wrong—
but because the economics are.

Electricity is expensive.
Rent is unforgiving.
Labor dynamics are unique.
And the local consumption market behaves very differently from what most models assume.

Urban farming is not a tech problem.
It’s a business model problem.

And after a decade of building in this environment, I’ve learned something far more valuable than knowing what works:

I know exactly what not to do.

Because I’ve done it. Personally. Repeatedly. And at cost.

That’s the difference between theory and experience.

Today, we’re no longer experimenting.
We’re executing—based on real data, real constraints, and real market behavior.

Because in the Philippines, if your urban farm isn’t built for the environment—it won’t survive it.

And that’s not a hypothesis.

Happy to hear your thoughts on this :)

What do indoor farms and LED face masks have in common?

You’ve probably seen those red and blue LED face masks everywhere.

People swear by them — smoother skin, fewer wrinkles, that “glow.”

But here’s the twist.

The tech behind them actually comes from NASA research in the 90s — originally used to:

* grow plants in space
* speed up wound healing

🔴 Red light boosts collagen
🔵 Blue light kills acne bacteria

Now here’s where it gets interesting.

At Urban Greens, we use the same type of LED grow lights every day.

Which means…

I’ve basically been sitting in a giant LED face mask for the past few years.

No skincare routine.
No treatments.
Just… farming.

👉 Maybe the real anti-aging hack isn’t in your bathroom.
It’s in your grow room.

Grow plants. Stay young.
