Learn How To Build A Smart Urban Farm By Enrolling In An SkillsFuture Series Course

by Pace Staff Singapore Pace Academy

Have you always wanted to start your own urban farm? Well, you are able to do so now by taking on a basic hydroponics course for urban farming. Not only is it a sustainable business idea and an eco-friendly option to grow food, it is also a great solution to beat the problem of food supplies in land-scarce Singapore that relies heavily on imported food. With 90% of Singapore’s food source being imported from other countries, smart urban farming seems to be the best option to sustainability.

By 2030, the nation aims to produce 30% of its own food. To achieve this goal, the government initiative under the national SkillsFuture movement offers a list of Adult Education courses in the eight emerging skills areas where individuals are highly encouraged to enrol.

What will you learn from the course?

Through the course, participants will learn to start their own smart hydroponics farm as they will be equipped with industry knowledge and skills of technologies such as Internet of Things (IoT)-enabled automation.

The objective is to introduce how smart urban farms can create a sustainable and affordable food source. Participants would also learn how technology can help to make farming effortless and increase yields. The course also covers basic farming knowledge, techniques and maintenance processes required to keep the system running. Participants will also learn hydroponics farming and enjoy hands-on sessions during the course.

If you are keen to create your own smart urban farm, then come enrol in the SkillsFuture series course for hydroponics to learn more about sustainable and innovative farming. You can apply online at www.pace.sp.edu.sg to enrol for the training at SP PACE Academy.
