SINGAPORE - A new urban farm that is able to produce 33 tonnes annually of leafy greens, such as lettuce, within a compact space, was launched on Wednesday .

Known as GroGrace, the farm is 650 sq m , with four growing floors, and is about four times more productive than conventional indoor farms with its ability to produce 70kg of leafy greens per sq m.

The APF has supported 132 companies in adopting high-tech equipment, farming systems and test-bedding of technologies to help urban farms innovate, she added. "The farm integrates multiple layers of dry hydroponics systems with Dutch horticulture technologies - which has the potential to game-change farming towards higher productivity and sustainability," said Dr Khor.
