This type of farming requires large quantities of water and chemicals ( which may or maybe not balanced) and a constant supply of electricity , which in Singapore comes from burning gas . Much of the water in Singapore from Osmosis which is highly energy intensive , and also requires the water to be mixed with normal water , as this water is demineralised . Hydroponics can only grow a limited number of crops , and will never replace classic farms. Singapore will have to reduce its population to become sustainable
It's treated sewage is sometimes used for agriculture, but if they get a whole cities worth of sewage, they could become even more secure & self sufficient. Even untreated sewage was used in ancient japan without problems.
People need to change their thinking about what is “waste” if sewage systems are designed to keep toxic substances from contaminating effluent it could easily used to grow most of a cities food and the toxic chemicals would be far easier to be recycled instead of the current system of containing the environment. Good work Singapore!
More than 70% of New Zealand's native forests have been razed to make way for human economic use, mostly farms, with the fastest rate of deforestation occurring in the 1890's when 10% of NZ's native forests was destroyed in a single decade! When people say conventional farming or any type of land-intensive farming is more 'natural' than urban farming, they've got no idea what they're talking about.
@@neddyladdy no, he laid his point correctly. People said "traditional" farming (land farming) are more "natural" than urban farming. It does not wrong but not 100% correct. There are ways to make urban farming "natural" like aquaponic.
How does one measure the efficiency of farming? And, how efficient is this style of farming? It is expected to ease the reliance on imports, that's good. Imports are currently 90% of consumption, how much is this style of farming expected to decrease the reliance on imports ?
"Uses less electricity water and resources" bullllll. It's using less city water and power than crops grown on a field using rain and sun? No. Vertical farming is cool but this is just a lie
I think he means the water that is used is more efficiently distributed. While in traditional farming, a lot of it is wasted even though for farmers some of that water is essentially free.
It recycles the water and is often solar powered. They also generate electricity from food scrap gas production. They’re one of the global leaders in this field…
Your farm looks like a little slice of heaven

Do we KNOW that is was problem free ? Historic rates of disease Vs current rates of disease ?
nice video

What is land-intensive farming? Looking at the words it means using copious amounts of land, but I feel that is opposite to what you mean ?

Usually by yield per area.
