Research Farm @ Eunos Industrial
Project Outline
This is a story about Urban Green Dot’s Research Farm from 2021-2022. This was about a 1.5 year project that we embarked on at Eunos Industrial area before we started our own indoor farm. This was a small room (around 200 sqft) where we fit in 13 hydroponics systems of different types to grow vegetables and to research a variety of aspects before starting a farm.
Research Goals
Sales Trials
How do we sell our produce? Is there a demand for certain vegetables? What vegetables should we focus on?
Ease of Maintenance
Are the systems we designed easy to maintain? Do they cause flooding? Can they be cleaned easily?
Business PL
Is it profitable to earn money from selling vegetable produce? Do we focus on farming only or should we diversify our business?
Produce Trials
How do we grow the vegetables quickly? What environment will be best for the plants?
