Vertical Farm Opens In Singapore, Sells Out Instantly

Vertical Farm Opens In Singapore, Sells Out Instantly

There is not a lot of room to grow vegetables in Singapore; they mostly grow condo towers. According to Sky Greens, only 7% of demand for vegetables is met locally, and fresh vegetables are often unavailable in the monsoon season. Now Sky Greens has introduced a vertical greenhouse, where plants are rotated around a 30 foot tall tower to get between five and ten times as much production as they would in traditional farms using conventional methods. They claim:

[It’s the] World’s first low carbon hydraulic water-driven, tropical vegetable urban vertical farm, using green urban solutions to achieve enhanced green sustainable production of safe, fresh and delicious vegetables, using minimal land, water and energy resources.
