Against the increasingly urgent backdrop of global food security and urban sustainable development, the Green Token (XGT) green digital fund has announced its lead investment in the City Arrow Tower (AT) and officially launched the first urban agriculture demonstration base in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

This collaboration represents a deep integration of green financial systems and practical agricultural innovation, marking a new phase in which sustainable urban agriculture moves from conceptual validation to large-scale implementation.

Project Background: The Food Supply Crisis Amid Urbanization

As the global urbanization rate continues to rise, the fragility of urban food systems is becoming increasingly apparent. Traditional agricultural production is far from consumption centers, and long-distance transportation results in significant carbon footprints and supply chain risks. This issue is particularly prominent in Malaysia:

• High Import Dependence: In 2023, Malaysia imported 1.8 million tons of vegetables, with an import value exceeding RM 5.1 billion. Local production cannot meet the rapidly growing consumer demand.
• Population Pressure: The population in major cities such as Kuala Lumpur continues to grow, driving a sharp rise in demand for fresh, safe agricultural products.
• Escalating Climate Risks: Frequent extreme weather events are impacting the stability of traditional agricultural production.

The Malaysian government has introduced “Agricultural Policy 2.0,” actively promoting the transformation toward high-tech agriculture. Simultaneously, consumer demand for localized, traceable, and pesticide-free food is growing.

AT is an innovative solution responding to this policy direction and market demand. By establishing a distributed production system within cities, it directly addresses the “last-mile” food supply challenge.

Green Token (XGT): The World’s First ESG Green Digital Fund

Green Token (XGT) is the world’s first ESG green digital fund jointly initiated by the Global RWA Asset Tokenization Alliance and the Malaysia ESG Association. It has received authoritative certification under the Muslim Financial System (Shariah Compliant). Its vision is to build a global green economic ecosystem, advance the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and establish a transparent and traceable green financial system through decentralized governance.

Its core philosophy is the Regenerative Finance (ReFi) mechanism—a system that drives and incentivizes environmental restoration and value regeneration through financial mechanisms. It transforms the positive impact of sustainable projects into tradable and value-appreciating assets, enabling investors to deeply engage in global green projects and achieve synergistic development of ecological, social, and economic value.

XGT’s lead investment not only injects capital but also deeply empowers AT with its established ESG standards, global resource network, and sustainable financial framework.

City Arrow Tower (AT): An Urban Regenerative Agriculture Solution Highly Aligned with XGT’s Philosophy

City Arrow Tower is a patented IoT-driven digital agriculture system whose philosophy aligns entirely with XGT’s: achieving the organic integration of environmental, social, and governance value through technological innovation. The project utilizes internationally patented aeroponic cultivation technology (PI2023002657) to achieve soil-free farming, 98% water savings, and zero-pesticide production, building a complete value chain from urban idle spaces to sustainable food production.

This base is not only a production unit but also a replicable, auditable, and scalable urban agriculture model, providing a complete data template and operational experience for subsequent regional expansion.

Global Roadmap for XGT and AT: From Kuala Lumpur to 30 Countries Worldwide

XGT and AT plan to deploy 100,000 aeroponic Arrow Towers in over 30 countries globally by 2030, directly supporting the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), including Goal 2 (Zero Hunger), Goal 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation), Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities), and Goal 13 (Climate Action), thereby forming a global sustainable agriculture network.

Phase 1: Pilot Validation (2025–2026)

• Complete the construction and full operation of the flagship smart farm in Kuala Lumpur.
• Validate ESG impact data, crop yields, and economic models.
• Launch XGT platform functionalities and community participation mechanisms.

Phase 2: Regional Acceleration (2026–2028)

• Expand into ASEAN, China, and Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
• Establish regional partner networks and scale up tower deployment.
• Enhance token utility and build a cross-regional ESG data network.

Phase 3: Global Expansion (2028–2030)

• Expand to over 30 countries globally, forming a distributed production network.
• Launch the Green Token DAO to implement decentralized governance.
• Target deployment of 1 million cultivation towers, producing 30 million kilograms of crops monthly.

This roadmap reflects a clear progression—”from demonstration base to urban network, and then to global collaboration”—each step built on real-world validation and data accumulation.

Innovative ReFi Mechanism: The Dual-Token Collaborative Ecosystem of AT and XGT

The collaboration between XGT and the AT project builds a complete Regenerative Finance (ReFi) ecosystem, deeply integrating tangible value with financial liquidity through a dual-token economic model:

• AT Token: A utility token within the City Arrow Tower ecosystem, serving as a key tool for participating in tangible agricultural production, accessing rights, and facilitating payments within the ecosystem.
• XGT Token: A strategic asset token of the green digital fund, acting as a financial hub connecting sustainable agriculture projects with global compliant capital, specifically designed for institutional investment and ESG asset synthesis.

Innovative Dual-Token Collaboration Mechanism

• Value Layering Design: AT anchors tangible agricultural production and daily circulation, while XGT supports long-term capital and asset securitization functions.
• Risk Isolation Structure: Daily operational fluctuations are absorbed by the AT economy, while long-term asset value is supported by the XGT system.
• Global Expansion Accelerator: The dual-token model provides complete financial infrastructure for internationalization, eliminating reliance on traditional banking systems.

Financialization and Globalization Pathway

This design transforms the AT project from an agricultural technology solution into a globally deployable green asset creation platform:

• Local Production, Global Pricing: Outputs from various bases, certified under unified standards, enter the global green asset trading network.
• Contribution as Assets: Farmers’ cultivation contributions, water savings, and carbon reduction data are converted into tradable digital rights in real time.
• Compliant Expansion: Leveraging XGT’s existing Islamic finance certification to rapidly enter key markets such as the Middle East and Southeast Asia.

Outlook: Building a Sustainable Urban Food Future

The collaboration between XGT and AT transcends traditional investor-investee relationships, representing a deep synergy between green finance and tangible agricultural technology. The launch of the Kuala Lumpur base marks the first milestone in this collaboration. Moving forward, both parties will continue to drive:

• Standardized Technology Export: Transforming validated models into globally replicable standard modules.
• Carbon Asset Development: Converting agricultural carbon reduction into tradable digital assets.
• Community Empowerment: Enabling global communities to participate in sustainable food production through the AT token economy.
• Policy Advocacy: Providing actionable food security and climate adaptation solutions for cities worldwide.

We believe that through the innovative integration of technology, finance, and community, we can build a more resilient and sustainable food system for cities worldwide, truly realizing the vision of “transforming every idle urban space into green productivity that nourishes communities.”
