  1. I'd like to see 100 % of rooftops to be either edible plants or solar panels!

  2. Incorporating natural growth into developments encourages less wrapping waste if purchasing from food stores also naturally improve health with no additives. Brilliant! Not to mention it would help to reduce mental health increasing natural oxygen and clean air. I love your goals.

  3. Miscalculation by profit driven Sg govt could cost Sg dearly which have become a bitten reality during covid-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine war.

  4. If you take the lessons from the past on farming, ones that are being rediscovered then you realize that we have sacrificed the future for an abundant present. Sadly it will take time to heal everything.

  5. I am interested in hydroponic farming and where can I learn it outside?

  6. What about the wholesome feelgood music vibe whilst he mentions developing cruel battery farm production of eggs…Treat chickens better.

  7. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments.
    Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and ends up haunting them in the near future.
    Putting our time and effort in activities and investments that will yield a profitable return in the future is what we should be aiming for. Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it.

  8. As long as it is a bottom up initiative it's great. what doesn't mean that now all countries with their cities and their farming countryside on the planet should start to look the same….

  9. i preferred plant food rather than plant flower…
    because i can eat them not just seeing them by beauty

  10. I am going to leave a comment in the hope that the algorithm will not recommend this to me again. I have seen it at least twice and I like it but I don't want to see it again.

  11. As much as I love this idea, I think it's doomed to fail and it's not a scalable, sustainable, economically viable solution. I do believe whatever knowledge or techniques they have developed should be made widely available to the farming community so they can grow more with more efficiency for more profit for less costs/waste. Everything has a critical mass, this onesy-twosy approach, while being great for hobbyists, is a futile effort. And Singapore, you are seriously telling me that you are so concerned about the geopolitical situation with your neighbors like Indonesia and Malaysia, your food security feels threatened?! Why not develop more agri-tech and help your neighbors use their lands and resources more efficiently instead?

  12. unfortunately food grown using new technology is often devoid of the range of nutrients that we actually need, which is probably the cause of obesity- we eat more to try to get those nutrients. modern day farming ignores the fact that we actually have microbial boita in the soil and our stomachs to help supply the nutrients and boost our immune responses to diseases, and as a result our soil and mental health has been deteriorating ever since. so in short good luck

  13. I'm sorry: "while controlled environments can help avoid some of the pitfalls of traditional farming like water pollution caused by pesticide run-off.." (4:40)???? Traditional agriculture uses pesticides? Nope.. thats industrial agriculture you're thinking of.

  14. "Modern, futuristic, and incredibly green"
    I guess I don't know Singapore because that isn't what I think of when I think of them. I just think of people, being people. it's mostly the "futuristic" bit, like do they have flying cars or something? Pretty sure they burn gas like the rest of us still.
