Food production is no longer seen as exclusively a rural function by urban planners; it has become a common trend in urban areas, with urban farms increasingly set up in spaces that are traditionally not used for agriculture. In Singapore, the formal urban agriculture industry began to emerge in early 2010s, with informal community urban gardening dating back to WWII with the victory garden movement an early precursor. The first urban farm in Singapore was founded in 2011, and urban farming has become an industry that is constantly growing and evolving. There is an on-going transition from traditional to high-tech approaches that is changing the way the farming industry requires labour—and the demographic profile of the urban farmer. To understand the unique qualities of the type of labour force hired by urban farms, this paper compares the labour profile of urban farms with the commercial farming industry in Singapore through a series of interviews with farmers. We conclude with a discussion on what it could mean for the future of labour force within the urban farm industry in Singapore, as well as potential broader implications.
