Assistance from Government
USE OF TECHNOLOGY
- high-tech controlled environments
- automate and integrate systems via robotics and sensors.
- Indoor multi-storey vegetable farms that use light-emitting-diode technology and recirculating aquaculture systems
- Singapore Food Agency (SFA) offering technical support, research-and-development tie-ups and the transfer of technology to farmer e.g advanced systems such as curtain systems that shade crops and reduce the impact of high temperatures on crop growth.
EXPLOIT ALTERNATIVE SPACES
- Underused and alternative spaces such as vacant state buildings, rooftops and even the deep sea.
- Deep-sea fish farming e.g. Barramundi Asia — Singapore’s largest farm rearing barramundi (Asian sea bass) in large sea-cage enclosures off Semakau island.
GROOMING EXPERTS IN THE FIELD
- develop courses, such as SkillsFuture Earn and Learn Programmes, that lead to diplomas in urban agricultural technology and aquaculture.
- initiatives to promote homegrown produce e.g.SG Farmers’ Markets in the heartlands and supermarkets to hold fairs featuring home grown produce.
Protecting our indigenous farmers.
