THE city government of Manila is working with the Bureau of Plant Industry (BPI) to explore the adoption of Singapore’s urban farming technologies with a view to food sufficiency.
Speaking during the BPI’s 96th anniversary celebration on Wednesday, Manila Mayor Francisco Moreno Domagoso said they aim to localize food production in highly-urbanized setting.

“I opted to choose Singapore because geographically, physically, it is small but highly urbanized, fully developed, and if they can produce their own, and we also can produce our own,” he said.
Domagoso cited Singapore’s experience as a dense city-state that has invested heavily in technology-driven agriculture.
