Asep H. Mustopa, yang lebih dikenal sebagai Abah Asep di komunitasnya, menunjukkan ketertarikan yang besar terhadap lingkungan sekitarnya setelah ia kembali dari Arab Saudi pada tahun 2009. Sebagai seorang Pekerja Migran Indonesia (PMI), beliau bekerja di Maktabah El-Manar Kota Zulfi, sebuah galeri kaligrafi di Arab Saudi selama dua tahun sebelum pulang ke Indonesia. Kesadaran akan kebutuhan sumber daya alam dan pangan di Kabupaten Sukabumi mendorongnya untuk bertindak untuk perubahan. Melihat banyaknya penduduk di kabupaten tersebut, Asep menyadari pentingnya mencari alternatif pangan untuk mengurangi ketergantungan pada beras atau makanan pokok hampir seluruh masyarakat di Indonesia.

Asep menyadari dampak emigrasi terhadap masyarakat lokal, khususnya perempuan. Dengan inisiatifnya, ia mendirikan Kelompok Wanita Tani dan memperkenalkan tanaman Hanjeli atau Jali sebagai solusi alternatif yang bergizi tinggi dalam mengatasi kedua masalah tersebut. Melalui usaha tersebut, ia tidak hanya berusaha untuk mengatasi masalah ketersediaan pangan, tetapi juga menciptakan lapangan kerja lokal serta meningkatkan kualitas gizi masyarakat setempat. Keputusannya untuk mendirikan KWT merupakan langkah awal untuk memberdayakan komunitasnya, menunjukkan komitmen serta kepeduliannya terhadap kesejahteraan sosial. Dengan demikian, pemilik namas asli Asep Hidayat Mustopa ini tidak hanya menjadi pelopor dalam usaha pelestarian lingkungan, tetapi juga menjadi agen perubahan yang berperan dalam pembangunan komunitas di daerahnya.
