🌏 Industry Snapshot: Vertical Farming in Asia: Singapore & Japan Lead the Way

Asia is at the forefront of vertical farming innovation, with Singapore and Japan leading global efforts to grow more food with less land. In land-scarce Singapore, government-backed farms like Sustenir and Sky Greens are producing leafy greens in stacked systems that thrive in urban spaces.

Japan, a pioneer since the 2000s, continues to expand its plant factory industry, using robotics, LED lighting, and climate control to boost efficiency and food security. Together, these nations are demonstrating that vertical farming can be both profitable and sustainable in densely populated urban regions.

Their success is inspiring a new wave of startups and skilled jobs across Asia, from engineers and agronomists to logistics and food safety specialists.
