Pioneering regenerative agriculture and aquaculture in Hong Kong for twenty years: no chemical fertilizers, no chemical pesticides, and bio-agents that feed the microbes already in the soil.
What we do
Twenty years of microbial work on the same land, across crops and fish.
Healthier soil, stronger crops, with no chemical fertilizers and no chemical pesticides. Prebiotic bio-agents feed the microbes already in the soil, so the plant builds its own defences rather than being shielded by a spray.
Three species ship today: red claw crayfish, rainbow tilapia and jade perch. The same bio-agent work reaches the feed: a Lingnan University trial on fermented fruit waste is among the cases.
Flagship case
WeGen is Maxim's Group's own initiative, and Hung Yat is its largest contributor. Pre-consumed food waste from about 70 Maxim's restaurants becomes fresh produce, with no chemical fertilizers.
Fruit peels and coffee grounds from about 70 Maxim's restaurants are converted into nutrient-rich bio-agents and used to grow crops without chemical fertilizers. The produce returns to 7-Eleven and Maxim's under the Grounds to Goodness brand. Waste in, food out.

The evidence
Our bio-agents are prebiotic, not probiotic: they feed the microbes already living in the soil and water rather than introducing foreign organisms. We do not add anything to the plant. We rebuild what feeds it, and the plant does the rest. Every figure below comes from a named report or trial.

The circular economy partnership with Maxim's Group and 7-Eleven reaches a significant operational milestone: 48+ tonnes of pre-consumed food waste converted into chemical-free produce.
