MUSEUM OF URBAN FARM

project

Singapore imports 90% of the food consumed in the country with little faming land. Only 8% of all the vegetables are produced by local farms. The Museum of Urban Farm is an actual farm which utilizes crane, vertical growing wall and hydraulic system to efficiently and environment friendly produce vegetables. The Museum of Urban Farm aims to 1) Inform public of the rising challenge of Singapore’s fragile food security 2) Introduce vertical farming 3) support local production of vegetables.

The local farms produce only a small amount of food that people eat in Singapore: 8% of all the vegetables 8% of all the ďŹ sh 26% of all the eggs Relying so heavily on food supplied from overseas means that Singapore faces unique challenges in ensuring a steady supply of food for the growing population.
