Lim Chu Kang: The End Of An Era Of Farming In Singapore | On The Red Dot | Full Episode
By December 2023, 70 farms in Lim Chu Kang will have to move out of their current farmland to make way for the development of military training grounds. On The Red Dot follows the stories of three farms affected by this move.
After close to three decades of being the only licensed frog breeding farm in Singapore, Jurong Frog Farm makes a difficult decision to close its gates for good. What will they leave behind? Hay Dairies prepares for the big move to their new farm site in Neo Tiew Crescent. But with more than 1000 goats and an incoming birthing season for the goats, will they be able to shift over to their new site in time? After losing more than 95% of land space when it moved to its current site to make way for the expansion of Tengah Air Base, Quan Fa Organic Farm struggles to mee...

Meet Singapore's Urban Farmers | Growing Wild - Part 1/3 | Full Episode
To the uninitiated, a farmer’s toil is never-ending, hard, and against the elements. To the initiated like Chris however, that’s simply a misconception.
Nature is elegant by design, everything has its place and purpose and nothing is wasted. There are lessons to be learnt from rain cycles and forest floor debris offer enriching take-aways.
So the question is how? How do we apply these principles of nature to the green projects we bring into our non-wild, non-natural, personal spaces?

Spotlight on sustainable farming in Singapore
An unprecedented wave of urbanisation means more than half of the world now lives in urban areas. We import more food than we grow and are more vulnerable to supply disruptions. To overcome this problem of food insecurity, some believe we need to create sustainable "farmland" where we live. CNA looks at what is being done in Singapore.

This story by CNA Insider is produced in collaboration with the @SGFoodAgency Singapore Food Agency.
For more on how Singapore’s food future is being shaped, visit: https://www.ourfoodfuture.gov.sg
Eco-Ark is one of the sea-based fish farms contributing to Singapore’s ambitious ’30 by 30' goal.
The country aims to build the agri-food industry’s capability and capacity to produce 30 per cent of its nutritional needs by 2030 – up from less than 10 per cent today – by ramping up its productivity in ways that are resource-optimal, climate-resilient, and sustainable both environmentally and commercially.
The government believes fish is a nutritious source of protein that the country can produce sustainably, and the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) aims to give the aquaculture industry a leg-up through various measures.
These include the launch of new sea space tenders in the southern waters and East Johor Straits from the end of this year, with lease tenures of 20+10 years that provide greater certainty so that farmers can plan and invest for the longer term, the agency said this month.
The SFA is also supporting the transformation of the aquaculture sector into a highly productive, climate-resilient and resource-efficient one that leverages technology and appropriate farm management methods.
Interested farms can tap its S$60-million Agri-Food Cluster Transformation (ACT) Fund launched last year. It replaced the Agriculture Productivity Fund which committed over S$50 million to 132 companies – including Eco-Ark – from 2014 to 2021.
As of Dec 31, 2021, the agency has received 23 applications for ACT funding. Eight have been approved, while the rest are being processed and evaluated, the SFA said.
The efforts are starting to bear fruit. In 2021, Singapore’s fish farms produced 4,200 tonnes of fish, an increase of 33 per cent from a decade ago.

Eco-Ark is one of the sea-based fish farms contributing to Singapore’s ambitious ’30 by 30' goal.
The country aims to build the agri-food industry’s capability and capacity to produce 30 per cent of its nutritional needs by 2030 – up from less than 10 per cent today – by ramping up its productivity in ways that are resource-optimal, climate-resilient, and sustainable both environmentally and commercially.
The government believes fish is a nutritious source of protein that the country can produce sustainably, and the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) aims to give the aquaculture industry a leg-up through various measures.
These include the launch of new sea space tenders in the southern waters and East Johor Straits from the end of this year, with lease tenures of 20+10 years that provide greater certainty so that farmers can plan and invest for the longer term, the agency said this month.
The SFA is also supporting the transformation of the aquaculture sector into a highly productive, climate-resilient and resource-efficient one that leverages technology and appropriate farm management methods.
Interested farms can tap its S$60-million Agri-Food Cluster Transformation (ACT) Fund launched last year. It replaced the Agriculture Productivity Fund which committed over S$50 million to 132 companies – including Eco-Ark – from 2014 to 2021.
As of Dec 31, 2021, the agency has received 23 applications for ACT funding. Eight have been approved, while the rest are being processed and evaluated, the SFA said.
The efforts are starting to bear fruit. In 2021, Singapore’s fish farms produced 4,200 tonnes of fish, an increase of 33 per cent from a decade ago.

An unprecedented wave of urbanisation means more than half of the world now lives in urban areas. We import more food than we grow and are more vulnerable to supply disruptions. To overcome this problem of food insecurity, some believe we need to create sustainable "farmland" where we live. CNA looks at what is being done in Singapore.
