Introduction

Urban agriculture is a growing trend worldwide, and it is especially important for Singapore due to its highly built environment and small land area. While it is not new, there are a lot of challenges in making urban agriculture sustainable, both environmentally and economically. For example, the energy cost for indoor farming is the biggest component of the total costs, with the large amounts of energy needed for lighting, cooling, air flow, control systems and etc. In terms of resources, water, soil and fertilizers are needed for urban agriculture and these are not easy to obtain in cities. Therefore, this workshop brings together a few experts to discuss on sustainable urban agriculture through the optimization of bioenergy and bioresources.
