Urban Farm Installation & Maintenance
Ignite a Change for our climate through your own Food Production!
Urban farms at schools provide students with the opportunity to gain experiential learning and knowledge. With the year-round farming lessons, workshops, and learning journeys, students can grow their own edible vegetables and develop a greater appreciation of what they eat. Furthermore, students can use their produces to benefit local charities in Singapore by harvesting and donating the vegetables.
An urban farm can be an exciting addition to your office space, providing numerous environmental and social benefits. Urban farms help reduce carbon emissions, promote food security and safety, and foster a sense of community among your employees. Additionally, these green spaces can be a great complement to Singapore's "30 by 30" self-sustainability initiative.
Be more involved with national goals
Take part in Singapore's 30 by 30 goal to build up our agri-food industry’s capability and capacity to produce 30% of our nutritional needs locally and sustainably by 2030
Grow Your own edible vegetables
Enjoy the rewards of raising your own produce, while being part of a growing movement towards urban agriculture.
Develop appreciation for food harvested
Through the joy of harvesting. Urban citizens can fully appreciate locally-grown items that taste so much better!
Promote food security and safety
Growing food locally allows our urban communities to take ownership of the food sources, making Singapore less dependent on imported produces.
Foster a sense of community
Increase engagement by having an employee or student-managed urban farm is an effective way to promote a vibrant sense of community in schools and workplaces.
Support Local Charities with fresh produces
Donating produce from urban farms to local charities is an amazing way to strengthen our community and help those in need.
