Singapore is a small country unlike other countries like China and India. Therefore, Singapore uses agro-technology farming which could increase output per unit of land. This is to say that it could produce a large amount of crops in a small land. This is due to the high level of technology used. For example, chemical fertilizers are used to ensure a good harvest and the irrigation system prevents the crops from withering when there is insufficient rainfall. This ensures the increase of the productivity. And as Singapore is a small and developed country, finding labor which is willing to work there could be a problem. Thus, agro-technology has yet another benefit, it uses machines, which not only solve the problem of the shortage workers, but also raises the efficiency of the various farming process. Computers are also used to calculate the amount of nutrients that is needed for livestock and poultry to grow quickly and healthily. This results in the increase of production quality meat milk…etc. Vaccines also prevent farm animals from catching diseases which might affect our health.

In short, agro- technology farming allows us to maximize the profit and minimize the cost. Agro-technology farming ensures that the soil is fertile so that the crops could grow healthily. It does not involve deforestation and does not contribute much to global warming. In addition, this kind of agriculture could increase the total number of crops produced and at the same ensuring that the crops is more nutritional. It is impossible to get diseases from the farm animals that were sold farms as they were vaccinated to make sure that they are safe to consume. Many requirements such as water, sunlight and etc. could be controlled in this agriculture so as to allow the plant to grow better.

Thus, this kind of farming promises products which is healthier and produces crops and animals which is safe to consume. It is considered environmental friendly and ensures that highest profit could be made with the lowest possible cost. This kind of farming can actually attract tourism which is yet another benefit. Therefore, agro-technology farming is the best way among all the farming method.
