Lionheart Farms proudly received the Global Excellence in AI, Food, and Agriculture Award at the 2025 International Tax and Investment Conference held last March 26 at the Manila Marriott Hotel. This event hosted by the Asian Consulting Group (ACG) celebrates Lionheart Farms’ unwavering commitment to advancing sustainable agriculture through responsible and inclusive business practices.

This Global Excellence Award  is more than recognition because it reflects the core of who we are and what we stand for. Here at Lionheart Farms, we’ve always envisioned a future where agriculture uplifts communities, respects nature, and contributes to long-term change. Recognitions like this affirms that we are on the right path. 

A Milestone that Reflects Our Mission

Sustainability guides everything we do. We harvest coconut flower sap in ways that respect nature and create dignified livelihoods in rural communities. Our mission goes beyond business. We lead with purpose, always putting people and the planet first.

During the ceremony, our Executive Assistant to the President, Mr. Russell Fernandez, proudly accepted the award on behalf of our CEO and President, Christian Eyde Moeller.  He represented our team's commitment to ethical and responsible business.

“It is a great honor to receive this award on behalf of the entire Lionheart Farms team,” he shared. “This recognition means a lot because it reflects our commitment to doing business the right way and supporting the communities we care so much about. We’re not just building a business—we’re creating a future for the people and the land we deeply value.” said Mr. Fernandez.

Rooted in Responsibility, Growing with Purpose

Our journey began with a vision: to show that agriculture can be a force for good. We’ve worked tirelessly to grow in a way that regenerates the land, supports our team, and produces healthy, ethical products for conscious consumers around the world.

We practice regenerative agriculture, which means we protect soil health, biodiversity, and climate resilience in everything we do. Our work doesn’t stop at the farm—we invest in our people through training, stable jobs, and partnerships that help entire communities thrive.

By weaving together sustainability and social responsibility, we’ve created a model that respects both tradition and innovation. And now, with this award, we’re more inspired than ever to keep going.

Innovation Meets Sustainability

Here at Lionheart Farms, we believe innovation should uplift—not replace—traditional ways of working. Our approach integrates modern technology with nature-based solutions to create a system that benefits both people and the planet.

We work hand-in-hand with local communities to produce organic coconut flower-based products, while restoring the health of the land we cultivate. By offering fair wages, hands-on training, and long-term support, we open doors for farming families to build secure and sustainable futures.

Through the smart use of technology and a deep commitment to ethical practices,  Lionheart Farms is not only increasing efficiency but also setting a new benchmark for sustainable agriculture in Southeast Asia.

Why This Award Matters Now

The Global Excellence Award arrives at a time when the world is rethinking how we grow, share, and consume food. As climate challenges escalate and food systems face increasing pressure, there’s a growing need for solutions that balance productivity with sustainability.

This recognition highlights how sustainable farming isn’t just possible—it’s scalable. Our journey proves that a business can be both profitable and principled, and that rural development, environmental stewardship, and technology can thrive side by side.

It also shines a light on the Philippines as a center for agricultural innovation. We’re proud to represent our country in this global conversation, showing that local solutions can lead the way toward a more resilient and equitable future.

Looking Ahead

This recognition fuels our passion to keep pushing forward. As we expand our reach, we remain deeply committed to our core values—sustainability, inclusivity, and doing business with integrity. We’ll continue to innovate, collaborate, and advocate for farming practices that nourish people and protect the Earth.

We believe that by staying true to our purpose, we can help create a future where businesses act with heart, where communities thrive, and where sustainability is the standard—not the exception.

This award is for all of us—for every farmer, every partner, every member of our team, and every supporter who believes in the power of farming with a purpose.
