This documentary showcases the people behind the urban farms that have been mushrooming amidst the glass and steel towers of Singapore’s central district. The film follows the trials and tribulations of Comcrop’s Allan Lim and his vertical faming venture, as well as the challenges and triumphs of social entrepreneur Bjorn Low and his bespoke farm-to-table approach. Can cutting-edge agricultural technology and an enduring Singapore spirit of community & collaboration start to influence Singaporeans’ approach to food sustainability? This film captures this changing mindscape.

"In order to do good, we must do well."
Thank you for that, sir. Have a nice day.
Such movement needs to go on in every corner of the world if mankind is to survive and thrive into the new Millennium.
I started such here in USA, Pennsylvania
I totally agree with you, so let us start from your own home, and start it from today.

"Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself." --Leo Tolstoy
If you want to see a change elsewhere, start yourself; provide a local example for those around you....
Agree I started 3 years ago and don't regret it. I have saved money on food and eggs and the great thing is that it's fresh.
Ingrid Kuang so do something. I stopped talking and started doing 2 years ago. be the chainge don't just see the chainge
YESSSS!!!!!I LOVE THIS KINDA STUFF ..THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR FOOD (KNOWLEDGE) WITH US... please keep up the work and keep advancing😊
Really love the personality of the hydroponics farmer. Funny and hardworking
I’m soooo inspired by this! Thank you for showing the beauty of our world and it’s potential
Admitting this video and the efforts taken for roof gardening! I was unaware of the various practices, types of plants that can be used as roof plants and this video lists a clear picture of it! Well done team!
Beautiful. Truly inspiring 😌💗
Kudos to Allan and Bjorn.. urban gardens are a great idea. Thanks for presenting this!
This is Awesome!!! Here in my country Trinidad &Tobago ( located in the Caribbean 9 miles off the coast of Venezuela) we have an abundance of very Fertile farming soil but, we still dont substain our need for produce. With 1,250,000 people we import almost the same % as Singapore. ☹
This being the first day of the new year, i feel so inspired and hopeful !!! Change is possible...one step at a time.
Thank you for this inspiring video!!🤗🥦🥥🍅

If you have a bit of land, you can easily start an aquaponic (or an easiest hydroponic) farm. Step by step, for not so much you could achieve to have your own vegetables and herbs.
Look for “FAO report aquaponic”, a free 290 pages book with everything to explain you how to correctly do.
Truly a great idea! But I think using soil as a filter would have saved that guy's fish. Don't forget the bee's! They are declining.
😂😂😂
@@southwestsearch Bees arw nit a problem here. I hear them all day on my Coconut tree. Earthworms galore... i just have to be consistent with my tending to my plants.
@@axel-adrienrobert1145 Thanks so much for the information!! Divine order to you!!
I really appreciate the comment that "you must do well to do good." A farm that goes out of business isn't helping anyone.
Allan Lim - true pioneer. What an inspirational guy!
It's wonderful to see how this technology is becoming more wide spread.
So heartening to learn about this movement in Singapore.
Love this! Was shocked to see how clean the water became in the fish tank! Very ingenious ideas!!! Thank you so much for sharing with everyone! God is good
I love this movement - it's so important! We're going to build an organic garden using aquaponics at our office in the coming weeks!
this is amazing all the best
It is so amazing to make a dish or a meal with all or the majority of what you grew yourself. I don't grow wheat, and I'm not much of a cook either, but I made this incredible pasta with everything I grew myself. And call me a total geek, but whenever I plant a seed and it grows into this huge plant that makes food, there is this sense of awe. I always say, "look, I made a plant," even though I know all I did was give it water when needed, but it feels like I created something alive, and that is an amazing feeling.
There'd be a stronger push for this wonderful initiative worldwide! Saving the planet, one roof at a time!
Excellent Docu! Hats of to the Singapore entrepreneurs!
The reason I love this video is because they're talking about and explaining the solution, while the problem is almost an after thought. (Also, does Alan drive a forester STi?)
Way to rise up to the challenge people!!! Keep setting an example for the rest of us💛
I must salute you in all your efforts to reduce waste and increase food sources. You are our future in food production of the world.
Almost any flat in SG can grow their own herbs, because there is often space for the flower pots near the entrance to the flats, because the HDB buildings have an open walkway.
Some people do that already, but mostly with flowers.
I have just now seen your cliping in net, Sir my appreciations to your great method, and efforts. Congratulations.
very resourceful garden and creative idea .beautiful love it.
We need more of such forward thinking businesses!
This is awesome. We need to apply this in every country, these creative solutions are certainly a step in the right direction
Not only sustainability but respectability kudos team
👏👏👏 thank you for the EXCELLENT content!
This is genius ! I love it. I'll come visit you next time I go to Singapore :D
In these uncertain times all of us should be doing this. I'm a gardner in a urban city and I use all spaces possible to grow something beautiful.
Kindly email me? I’m working on a similar project and creating a group of urban gardeners

Singapore really need this kind of farming specially now the whole world is in pandemic.
Big guy with big dreams. All the best man.
I love these concepts, more the merrier
I wish more people were like him
This is amazing.
At moments like this (covid 19) I am sure they really happy about projects like this one
I love Singapore so clean
Do you know what people like you make our world beautiful. Love from Pakistan. Nice work.hope I can learn that 2.

Serene Mountain how?
Any news on the progress of these rooftop farms? I'm just excited to see how it turned out after the last video shown. Please recommend other videos of this kind. More power!
Good on him to take initiative really great video
Amazing !
I like to believe seeing green and other beautiful colors is good for the brain along with the fresh air
great work I love it so much!
Great Video, very inspiring :D 加油！
Peppermint is a beautiful plant and smells amazing too
Great video. true champions of the food world
Veeeery cool to see them take sustainability serious and to grow with 0 pesticides and offset aaalot of CO2 emissions. We really need to spread this movement to all towns in the world.
I am just getting into starting my hobby in aquaponics
Aquaponics Source is like too but my parents don’t want me too so I’m gonna build a hydroponic farm in my room and might save up for a aquaponic set up
Wooow. It’s wonderful
WOW.. it is just too good to be true. but it is true. Salute for Singapore.
Nice job!
You are a rock star. Thank you
Good job!!!!
good work, good idea
wonderful!!
AWESOME!
A beautiful quality operation...
i really love it. 😊
Awesome!
love the video
Theyre brilliant in shaping and creating this system this is the future and should be only the begginning
This is so interesting and the documentary is breathtaking, making me want to learn more. I really appreciate this creative and engaging video. I will surely share it with other people.
Did they appreciate it as much as you did?
WOW, love it
These are the guys that will save SG when a pandemic happens.
I love this farmers; innovation is key in farmer
12:37 As the former president of my local community garden for 6 years (the Hollenback Community Garden in Clinton Hill Brooklyn) one of the most important things I learned and tried to pass on, was the importance and in fact required by regulations, of "Open Hours" on a schedule. Of course you need a fence or barrier, but you have to be open to the public. We scheduled them at the beginning of every month and everyone had to take turns opening up and staying at the garden for 3 hours. We had open hours twice a day, every day in the morning and the afternoon and all day on the weekends.
I love this guy
Love Allan's vision, dedication, and humor. Wishes of success to Bjorn's farm to table venture. I really hope to see all prosper. I know there is some experimentation in similar farms here in the US. Would like to see all nations expand on this.
so applicable right now...
Wowww so nice ...!!
The rooftop carpark farm seems like a fantastic idea.
nice & good video...
i need to move to this place it amazing
I wanna have like that for my family's use 🙏🏼
Very interesting vid
I have heard of American engineering students doing similar green ventures such as kitchen mushroom grown in coffee grounds.
Emily Wong I would never eat those. Mushrooms will absorb heavy metal when grown in non organic coffee grounds.
Growing anything in recycled organic matter is baby food compared to this.
I was engineer student and I grew shrooms in college. Some of the best and worst trips but sure were cheapest.
@@natel9019 Then you shouldn't drink the coffee either. Coffee grounds are only as organic as the plantations where the coffee plants are grown. So you are not making sense.
@@marlan5470 Where did I type that I drank coffee? Oh yeah I didn’t and you just assumed I did for some arbitrary reason. Talking about not making sense.
Alan is a mad lad

i started my garden about a month ago and think this is a good idea, i have my busness at my house in 3 years house will be payed off and relying on solar energy home grown vegtebles.
Well said... nice farmer
Great, this has been my dream
It's amazing I love to do this
Here in America...every community's Golf Course is more important than sustainable, community farming. --- M.S.A.
Mark Alexander
that's so true what a huge waste of water, land, and resources golf really is
Omg, right? I was thinking about how insane it is that so much money, effort, and land is spent on a place where people can hit things with sticks and how crazy it is that we grow this useless plant in our own yards that does nothing but use too much water and costs money to mow etc. Each year more of my grass gets turned into flower beds or food growing space. (And lots of the flowers are edible too) We need some lawn for the dog, to run and play, but Sometimes I am just in awe at the stupid things humans do. The yard is full of hummingbirds, bees, and butterflies, and I've got a whole medicinal and herbal garden. Some local wild trees bear fruit like elderberries and chokecherries and many of the 'weeds' are edible too, but we spend all this money on pouring poison on something we can eat and grows well in our climate. Total insanity.
Grass is important for beneficial insects and birds...
so what's wrong with entertainment.being human isn't just eating
Unfortunately, this is very true. Very sad. I'm working on changing that though. I NEVER in my wildest dreams thought I'd become an Agrarian Farmer and 21st Century Space Communist Hippy.
great project
It would be nice if all food waste was sent to farms that would either compost or feed to chickens and pigs....
could be a promising business venture...
+Rick Sanchez C137 I found a great collection of videos that should help on Grape grower folio
heh thats actually was a thing in ussr
Smart farmers do seek out scraps
But what about risk of meat infection with virus or bacteria from ill people?
Great idea for sustainable food
Brilliant -
Impressive!
