If you have the roofplants covered pf plants,were you can put solar panels? Maybe on the windows of the skycrapers right,but looks like super innefficent and over complicated, this solution maybe is right for singapore who doesnt have farmland, but the most efficent way to grow food for me is the sun, why use a solar panel or fossil fuels (solar panel have the efficency of 40x100) so you need to cover a larger area for those to grow a plant, maybe im wrong. Super expensive food its not the way, maybe im wrong

I hope many countries will replicate this kind of initiative. It will be a platform for us to utilize our lands well.

I'm still waiting for the vertical farm concept I read about in Popular Science like 15 years ago. It was basically a high rise with a Whole Foods at the ground floor and with every conceivable farm type above it. Caged birds like chickens lived above running water and their feces dropped directly into the water to act as the fertilizer for the hydroponic greens as well as the primary food source for bottom feeding fish like tilapia.

In Sweden we have a much more intelligent (?) aproach. In the southern parts we have among the best soils for farming in Europe. It enables four harvests per year. So, we use giant bulldozers to remove the soil and build squarekilometer after squarekilometer of small houses in thousands. In a country where the environmental green party plays leading role. Simply impressive!!!

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.

Great initiative in the right direction. Singapore always a step ahead. 👍

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.

I get that the food might be a novelty ingredient that high end restaurants are willing to pay extra for or as a way to sustain a base on Mars, the Moon or in the arctic but when you can just use trucks, trains and ships to import food grown outside I just can't see how the economics of it would work out. 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?

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).

Singaporean's have proved they can do anything required to not only survive, but to flourish. This is a fantastic idea, and I hope everyone comes together to make it a norm across SG society. There is always a way.

An incredible video! Loving this channel more and more.

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.

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.

Thats going to be a massive industry in the coming years! Imagine every city in the world is able to supply up to 30% of its own produce. Imagine the amount of land we will reclaim for livestock agriculture and green spaces!

Singapore is really ahead out of any countries in the world, amazing.

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.

Cutting edge farming , I have visited Singapore regularly since 1980 and never ceases to amaze me with its very clever innovation technology.The future to farming🥦🥬🍉🍊

I've been to Singapore. It was AMAZING! If anyone can build the farm of the future, you can bet your bottom dollar Singapore can.

Fascinating stuff. Singapore’s evolution over the past century is quite extraordinary.

Singapore is so surreal! Visited a couple of years ago and it's like something from a sci-fi movie!

I like this and have wanted to see it developed. So good for this guy... the only question I have is plants like to trap humidity and moisture, so how do you keep the cement and steel from breaking down, if all of these plants are bound closely to it? Just curious.

After reading your post, it is unclear whether you have a 401(k) plan. Considering your annual income of 165,000 EUR and your lack of financial progress, it is plausible that you should evaluate your monthly budget and pinpoint areas where you might be overspending. It would be prudent to seek financial guidance and cut down on monthly expenses. Any savings realized should be channeled towards wise investment opportunities.

I live in a rural community where a alot of people just drive their UTVs around for errands. There's a small American community that in the 1960s built golf cart trails to every house hold & continue to this day. So at the high school you see hundreds of golf carts lined up back to back. I think that's cool as it helps build independence with a much safer means of transport. I would like to see a major city try to push for a UTV or golf cart culture. It would be cool if most people drove around in golf cart around in NYC for instance.

It's in all of our interest that this works and Singapore develops the technologies, efficiencies and industry knowledge that can then be shared with other countries. Most of the world's population currently live in urban areas (4.2 billion urban vs 3.4 billion rural). Traditional farming is land intensive and highly polluting; high tech urban farming can provide the solution through the use of controlled environments. I live in New Zealand where more than 80% of natural forests have already been destroyed for human economic use that comprises mostly of farmland (a stat that isn't advertised in our tourism brochures). Not to mention the polluted waterways, high nitrates and greenhouse gas emissions. Also another major point to remember: Singapore is a city state, and there's no city in the world that produces all the food they consume. Singapore currently imports 90% of its food, conversely however that means it produces enough food to sustain 10% of its population - that's equivalent to the whole population of Wellington city and Christchurch combined! So not as unsustainable as it sounds at first and it's currently doing so with only 1% farmland! If it manages to hit 30% by 2030, that would be equivalent to feeding the whole population of Auckland, and it would have done so without turning the whole place into a farm. Such technologies, efficiencies and know-how would be extremely useful to the world.

The kind of destructive farming you describe is anything but traditional. It's the direct, modern result of global trade regulations imposed by international corporate interests. Traditionally, farming was relatively local and what we now term 'organic.' The increasing growth of regenerative, 'permaculture' farming is now healing depleted and overgrazed lands with traditional practices wisely employed to greatly improve groundwater quality and retention, metabolic soil nutrition and biodiversity, and even to dramatically increase biomass on every acre farmed. The improved health and productivity means far less farmland is required to grow food of much higher quality. This is the kind of farming needed to sustain our growing population. Urban gardens and 'farms' are great, but the scale is usually commercially viable only for growing high-value produce for sale to nice restaurants and gourmet markets, not for staple crops or proteins.
