The idea that a city state might be entirely isolated just doesn't make sense either. If a pandemic makes them shut their borders they will just have to open them because more would die from starvation that from the disease and if the country isn't able to break a full military blockade from all sides ot also won't be able to defend itself against an invasion.

We're all starting to move in that direction, to greater or lesser (mostly lesser) degrees. But certainly it 'is' in Singapore's best interests to start being more self-sufficient (and that goes for other high density population countries). Many people might dismiss this particular pandemic as being 'nothing much to worry about' - however, no one can deny that a far more deadly pandemic can spring up at anytime. The next Bubonic plague, a more virulent Bird Flu or Ebola. Anything can happen - because it's happened in the past. The last thing you want is to be living in a country when all others have closed their borders tight shut and won't even consider trading food over the border. It's under circumstances like that when countries are thinking - 'We might need this food for own own people if this disease is anything like as disruptive as the last one. So we'll keep all the food for ourselves.' Such a scenario can happen only too easily with the right disease on the rampage.

Reminds me a bit of the vertical farms of the Netherlands.

@steemlenn8797 3 года назад

You mean the indoor ones, with LED lights etc? No wonder, it's the same tech ;) It's a (slightly) messy thing (like all agriculture I guess), but the speed of growing is incredible. (I was in one of those test chambers a few times during a practica, had to clean and replant them.) I think the Arabs were the front runners of this, since they have water problems (and this saves a lot of water even though the plants basically swim) and not much usable land, but easy energy (solar)

Singapore imports alot of tech from Netherlands so i wouldn't be surprised if it's the same.

@@steemlenn8797 Did the farm make financial sense? I'm hating on the idea of vertical farming a lot because it's just seems so expensive. I get that the food might be a novelty ingredient that high end restaurants are willing to pay extra for or as a way to sustain a base on Mars, the Moon or in the arctic but when you can just use trucks, trains and ships to import food grown outside I just can't see how the economics of it would work out. After all the reason we don't grow more food isn't that we're running out of space to do so. It's that farmers in countries in the developing world simply don't have the capital for the machinery, fertilizer and herbicides/pesticides to get the same food output per area we see in richer countries yet. This goes completely against the hype so: Do I miss something? Are they so much more efficient that they can somehow replace regular farming after the massively higher costs for labor, land, water supplies, lights and all the energy use? Or did tech media create a hype around a use case the technology was never really meant for?

@steemlenn8797 3 года назад

@@user-hv6wb5gk8p If it was financial sense is the wrong question for the place I was in, since it was a research facility. But the salads there growed at 3 times the speed than on fields. I actually did a small project (not water but earth based) with different settings (color) for the light, and there were cleary visible differences. (Also the smails clearly favored one of the 4 types of salad I was testing :D) Worldwide speaking indoor farming of salad was already cheaper in Saudi Arabia than importing it (because imports are expensive, not to mention that imports happen via air, so not exactly "green" green stuff) - mostly thanks to cheap electricity from solar power. I guess with better knowledge and tech at least some types of crops will be cheaper to produce this way in many parts of the world (especially from foreign climates). And here we are speaking about Saudi Arabia, they are not exactly lacking space. Singapore, Japan, where space costs more than only one arm and a leg the additional land might cost more than the tech.

@DanSolowastaken 3 года назад

That is low hanging fruit. What would make really good sense for scalability for an island nation like Singapore would be sea-steads. Fish farming, Sea greens, full water column. Makes perfect sense for the deep harbors around Singapore. Especially with the retired boats, scrap steel, and various other end-of-the-line logistics to be recycled. Moor a boat and use it as a sea steading platform. Allow for a transient sea community. Even if you're just growing chicken feed, clams, and oysters it makes good sense.

@bigj3508 3 года назад

Another benefit that Singapore will soon find out is that the quality of their food in taste, nutrition and longevity will improve substantially. Consider that in addition to having a year-round growing season in SEA, they can stagger harvests with indoor farms to create a nearly constant supply of fresh food locally that does not have to wait a week on a refrigerated train/truck/ship to get to the market. Also, not only will they be reducing their carbon footprint by reducing their shipping burden, but they'll create the infrastructure for local agriculture. I won't even talk about the countless benefits of increasing the density of beneficial insects and expanding the colonization of beneficial gut flora through community agriculture...all I'll say is don't be surprised if you see instances of depression in Singapore (and any other city that uses this model) to plummet and their lifespans/overall health to increase.
