Breakout Room A
Breakout Session

Singapore farmers face growing pressure from climate volatility, changing consumer expectations, and rapid technological change. But competitiveness is no longer defined by production alone. This discussion explores the global trends reshaping agriculture and what farmers must do at the farm gate and beyond to remain resilient, attractive partners for buyers, and investable businesses in the future food system.

  • Which global trends will have the greatest impact on Singapore farms over the next decade?
  • How have successful farms in land- and resource-constrained markets adapted to changing conditions?
  • Which technologies originally developed for controlled environment agriculture are now finding practical applications across greenhouses, aquaculture, and other farming systems in Singapore?
  • What do retailers, food companies and investors now look for when evaluating farm businesses, and how can Singapore’s farms respond?
