According to a 2022 UN report, there is fresh evidence that the world is moving in reverse, away from the Sustainable Development Goal (SDGs) of ending hunger, food insecurity and malnutrition in all its forms, by 2030, which is just six years away.

The Food and and Agriculture Organisation says attaining the SGD 2 target by 2030 would be difficult, unless agrifood systems are transformed and made more resilient.

Densely-populated countries like Singapore have been adopting new technologies to maximise organic production of foods and vegetables using minimum land.

In this episode of Mind Your Business, we speak with a pair of “young” farmers, James Yin, CEO & Co-founder, V-plus Agritech and Nelson Tan, CTO & Co-founder, V-plus Agritech, who aim to empower communities and individuals with their smart technology in sustainable farming to reshape agriculture.
