Meet the Founder

The founding intention of Gaia

Focusing on the "root" essence, resilience, and self-healing is the "natural way" the earth conveys life force and health to people!

"When the earth is healthy, the family will be healthy!" This is the profound personal experience of Gaia's founder, Yang Xun, who became a beneficiary of the earth's health through a diet of "naturally healing fruits and vegetables."

Due to his father's belief and persistence in health, Yang Xun grew up studying the cultivation methods of naturally healing fruits and vegetables alongside his father. The family once retreated to Lishan to study agriculture for several years. Yang Xun said, "After growing up, I studied in the Department of Medical Technology at Taipei Medical University. Inspired by the operation of the human vascular system, I created a biomimetic underground irrigation system, aligning human adaptation with natural cycles, cultivating our admiration and gratitude towards nature."

蓋婭智壤科技希望在落實將「土壤自癒、省水省力」的種植管理技術普及化,充份融入運用在各種作物的農場,廣泛供應多元健康食材,幫助每一個人都能照顧自己、家人、小孩、朋友,都能夠獲得健康。
