Singapore has only 1% of its land available for agriculture, so it imports 90% of its food requirements. The government is looking to curb this dependence on outside food sources under a program titled “30 by 30,” which aims to allow Singapore to grow 30% of its produce by the year 2030. Local vertical farms like Sustenir are at the forefront of bringing about this change. VICE visits the sustainable start-up to understand the future of food.

How is this supporting local farmers, did I miss something here? Sounds more like corrupt UN Agenda 2030.
Holy shit the music is WAY to high in the mix
I assume this is interesting, but i can't understadn 90% because the music is way too loud. WTF?
