Aims of Project
To grow healthy plants that can thrive in urban settings E.g. small plots and in limited spaces in buildings.
To grow plants that benefit the environment and ourselves. E.g. edible plants, plants that reduce pollution, plants that require low resource utilisation, plants that take in waste products from another cycle and add value to the system
Maximise space usage and minimise resource utilisation for growing plants in Urban Settings.
Nature of Project
To conduct literature research on Urban Agriculture and related methodologies, technologies and best practices
To visit, capture and document good practices of Agriculture and Gardening practices and examples.
To test and trial out in Urban Settings such as
Gardens and Spaces in Landed Property
Private Apartments and Condominiums
HDB Homes
Public Spaces like corridors, roof-tops, community gardens

Ecosystem Perspectives
Closed-Looped Systems Vs Open Systems
Some Random Ideas
Survey your home to find out where are the locations where sunlight comes in, the light intensity and timings in the day. You can use a security or webcam to capture a room for one day to trace the light source and intensity.
Put a plant, preferably a hydrophonic plant so that it doesn't require constant watering.
