Singapore Release of land paves way for High-Tech Farming For the last 20 years, Mr Alan Toh has been diligently tending to his vegetable farm in Lim Chu Kang because he believes Singaporeans deserve fresh and quality local produce. But Mr Toh's Yili Vegetation will not be taking part when 12 new plots of farmland meant for leafy vegetable cultivation come up for bidding in August. Although his present lease ends in 2019, the 53-year-old said he cannot adopt high-tech farming methods, such as hydroponics or vertical farming. Mr Toh, whose farm is soil-based, said: "I don't have confidence in ensuring the same quality with high-tech farming after using soil for so long. The new plots are all reclaimed land too, which is not good for growing vegetables."
