Some in Singapore are turning to urban farming in this land-scarce city, as they look for high-tech ways to turn waste into useful resources.We are not only reimagining what we farm, but what we get out of the farming process."Their superpower is their ability to consume food waste," she said of the black soldier fly, regularly scooping up a handful of writhing insects with her bare hands throughout the farm visit.
Eco-Ark is one such example. The closed-containment floating fish farm located in the eastern side of Singapore uses seawater that has been optimally treated to farm fish. "We produce our own oxygen, we produce our own ozone," said Leow Ban Tat, CEO of Aquaculture Centre of Excellence, which built Eco-Ark.
