SINGAPORE - Singapore, the tiny Southeast Asian city-state, is an unlikely place for a farming revolution.
“Whenever I talk about food security in Singapore, I tell folks don’t think land - think space. Because you can go upwards and sideways,” said Paul Teng, a professor specializing in agriculture at Nanyang Technological University. Temasek is also providing funds to Apollo Aquaculture Group which is building a S$70 million highly-automated, eight-storey fish farm. Apollo says the new farm will deliver more than a twenty-fold increase in its annual output of 110 tonnes of fish.
It also plans to build an 18-hectare agri-food site for indoor plant factories and insect farms by mid-2021.
