Singapore’s Bold Plan to Build the Farms of the Future

We're all starting to move in that direction, to greater or lesser (mostly lesser) degrees. But certainly it 'is' in Singapore's best interests to start being more self-sufficient (and that goes for other high density population countries). Many people might dismiss this particular pandemic as being 'nothing much to worry about' - however, no one can deny that a far more deadly pandemic can spring up at anytime. The next Bubonic plague, a more virulent Bird Flu or Ebola. Anything can happen - because it's happened in the past. The last thing you want is to be living in a country when all others have closed their borders tight shut and won't even consider trading food over the border. It's under circumstances like that when countries are thinking - 'We might need this food for own own people if this disease is anything like as disruptive as the last one. So we'll keep all the food for ourselves.' Such a scenario can happen only too easily with the right disease on the rampage.

After all the reason we don't grow more food isn't that we're running out of space to do so. It's that farmers in countries in the developing world simply don't have the capital for the machinery, fertilizer and herbicides/pesticides to get the same food output per area we see in richer countries yet. This goes completely against the hype so: Do I miss something? Are they so much more efficient that they can somehow replace regular farming after the massively higher costs for labor, land, water supplies, lights and all the energy use?

(Also the smails clearly favored one of the 4 types of salad I was testing :D) Worldwide speaking indoor farming of salad was already cheaper in Saudi Arabia than importing it (because imports are expensive, not to mention that imports happen via air, so not exactly "green" green stuff) - mostly thanks to cheap electricity from solar power. I guess with better knowledge and tech at least some types of crops will be cheaper to produce this way in many parts of the world (especially from foreign climates). And here we are speaking about Saudi Arabia, they are not exactly lacking space. Singapore, Japan, where space costs more than only one arm and a leg the additional land might cost more than the tech.

[@JohnDoe-gs1cb]

All this kind of technology should be open and free for the humanity

[@DanSolowastaken]

That is low hanging fruit. What would make really good sense for scalability for an island nation like Singapore would be sea-steads. Fish farming, Sea greens, full water column. Makes perfect sense for the deep harbors around Singapore. Especially with the retired boats, scrap steel, and various other end-of-the-line logistics to be recycled. Moor a boat and use it as a sea steading platform. Allow for a transient sea community. Even if you're just growing chicken feed, clams, and oysters it makes good sense.

Another benefit that Singapore will soon find out is that the quality of their food in taste, nutrition and longevity will improve substantially. Consider that in addition to having a year-round growing season in SEA, they can stagger harvests with indoor farms to create a nearly constant supply of fresh food locally that does not have to wait a week on a refrigerated train/truck/ship to get to the market. Also, not only will they be reducing their carbon footprint by reducing their shipping burden, but they'll create the infrastructure for local agriculture. I won't even talk about the countless benefits of increasing the density of beneficial insects and expanding the colonization of beneficial gut flora through community agriculture...all I'll say is don't be surprised if you see instances of depression in Singapore (and any other city that uses this model) to plummet and their lifespans/overall health to increase.

[@katblyth8153]

When I was growing up in Singapore we raised our own chicken, ducks, turkey, goats and even had a few cows for milk. Our little farmhouse was acquired by the govt and we had to move to a modern apartment building in 1984.

@@ScratchedWinter anything can be as shallow as marketing if you could ignore enough of the social benefits it brings

[@majorwillm]

The amount of land they have and the efficiency to which it is used, they don't let land sit there and do nothing. And maybe they make a big deal about green spaces because the UK doesn't care as much about it and is far less efficient and educated, leading to stunted growth

[@r.sakarollsafe1285]

@@majorwillm It's not that UK does not care, they have different economy sectors to pay close attention to. Meanwhile, Singapore were on the brink of starvation if food logistics around the world stopped, lets say when a pandemic starts. Different priorities. Farming and sufficient food banks in UK were priorities waaaaaaaaaayyy long ago my dude. That's what started the colonization.

I really do believe in growing at home. It's really great doing to hydroponically or aeroponically, and vertically if possible, which is what I've done before. It limits the need to fill up valuable residential space on buildings.

Doesn't matter. The value will be there once huge import fees are added onto inports. Taxes are added onto outsourced food. And sellers have to pay 100,000$/yr to have a permit to sell outsourced food. Will be cheaper to buy local food :( they can power it with all their fossil fuels they import for malaysia

If i had a garden i would do the same.. more importent to mention.. you dont use immense amounts of fossil c02 producing energy to make your vegetables. The idea of hightech farming presented here forgets the elephant in the garden.. it is unbeleavable energy consuming.. and energy.. mostly comes and maybe will come for long time only from fossil ressources, producing c02 and getting more and more rare..

I fell in love with Singapore when I visited 5 years ago! I would love to see more of it's green architecture in my part of the world, but living in a northern canadian town (2b), winters are harsh..One thing we have a lot around here are abandoned gold mines. I was thinking about food resiliency and how would it be possible to take advantage of their constant temperature underground tunnels to convert them into hydroponic farming..
