World’s Tallest Vertical Farm Opens in Import-Reliant Singapore

Singapore opened the world’s tallest vertical farm on Wednesday, as the city-state tries to reduce its reliance on imported food.

The S$80 million ($62 million), 23-meter-high facility, developed by Singaporean company Greenphyto Pte Ltd., was launched despite other operators struggling with rising costs and the government lowering targets for domestic agricultural production.
