Vision of the Founder

"The origin of life on Earth is fungi, and eventually, we must preserve the cycle that starts from and returns to nature."

CEO Sung-hyuk Im’s belief is considered a scientific perspective similar to the ‘Gaia theory’ proposed by James Lovelock in 1978 in his book ‘A New Look at Life on Earth.’ James Lovelock explains. “The Earth can be understood as a single organism composed of the environment and living beings. a self-regulating living entity” “Our country has a natural environment that is blessed with the ability to grow various species of life.” Based on this, CEO Sung-hyuk Im has been working towards the goal of ‘contributing to humans and the Earth through Agricultural Life Sciences’ for over 30 years, and his technical achievements are becoming a reality.
