The Singapore Food Agency (SFA)’s exhibition titled “Feeding our Future: Building an Agri-Food Hub for all”, was launched by Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Mr Lawrence Wong on 02 September 2023. A key highlight of the exhibition is the vision for Lim Chu Kang (LCK) as Singapore’s flagship agri-food production hub of the future.
MKPL Architects Pte Ltd, together with Henning Larsen, Ramboll, Sobono, KuiperCompagnons, Priva, WSP and AECOM are extremely proud and honoured to be given the opportunity to work with SFA on this LCK master plan, envisioning its transformative blueprint to safeguard Singapore’s food future. The project is of national significance as it will be contributing to Singapore’s ‘30 by 30’ vision, which aims to build the agri-food industry’s capability and capacity to sustainably produce 30 per cent of Singapore’s nutritional needs by 2030.
Our multi-disciplinary team’s concept master plan addresses key challenges of Singapore’s limited land resource for agriculture and aquaculture with careful consideration for the ecological sensitivities of the site. The master plan proposes innovative farming typologies and technologies which would achieve the food production goals whilst incorporating the natural character of Lim Chu Kang. The concept includes holistic ecosystems to enable sustainable, productive agri-food production, a framework for circular resourcing and opportunities for businesses and agri-food workers.
