Singapore’s Nascent Urban Farming: Potential Future Regional Centre?
Montesclaros, Jose; Teng, Paul | November 2018
Abstract
Singapore signalled strong support for its urban farming industry by tendering 24 hectares of land for high-productivity vegetable farms in 2017. Foresighted action is now needed to reduce risk to leafy vegetable producers and to fulfil the sector’s commercial potential. Can it be a future regional centre for urban food production?
