Entering university, Luke had a desire to help people and the planet, quickly realizing that the responsibility was with himself. So, he began creating ideas to become that catalyst for change. Believing in a better world, where humanity and nature work in harmony.

Graduating from Durham University, Rory wanted to start something new and different. Beginning as a hobby to help Luke make Alora into more than an idea, Rory realized this was a dream come true. An opportunity to give the world a brighter future every day. When given that opportunity, he had to grasp it with both hands.

They have made the first truly sustainable ocean agriculture system with a global network and patented scientific methods. Overcoming both the global food and climate crises.
