Dutch agritech innovations may hold answers to Singapore's food security future

SG IMPORTANT FOR FLOATING FARMS

Business players in Singapore said they had thought about changing the idea, but they were unable to do so in a market where there is less demand for cheese and farming is not frequently cheap.

Because the cost was too high, it not started to take off. The capital investment is quite high and there’s no economies of scale”, said Professor Veera Sekaran, head of the National University of Singapore’s Regenerative Agritech Centre.

” Singapore’s ocean paths are also very active and crowded. Some coastal locations are very narrow, and there are container ships waiting in line for interface.

He added that there are concerns about hazardous waste entering the ocean, which may cause economic or political issues with neighboring nations. &nbsp, &nbsp,

VERTICAL FARMING IS PERFECT FOR THIS QUESTION.

In countries like Singapore, where food safety concerns arise, how can foods be grown safely and effectively without taking up too much space?

Lateral farms, a practice that the Dutch are well-known for, are one option. &nbsp,

At agriculture business Growy’s established- up in the capital city of Amsterdam, drones do anything from seeding to package.

“( Technology ) manages the whole farm for us. We can easily log in from our phones or tablets wherever we are in the world if we need to ( check up on any of the species ). According to Ms. Laura van de Kreeke, a producer at the company,” We can take our computers to look for or do what we need.”

She claimed that the high-tech methods not only optimize labor but also reduce the company’s water consumption by 90 %.

Growy is one of the top international agriculture companies with roots in Singapore in vertical gardening. Up to 500 tonnes of lush greens will be produced from the company’s land in Changi Logistics Center, according to the statement.
