A team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) has recently developed a simple solution to address two of the world’s biggest problems—water scarcity and food shortage. They created a solar-powered, fully automated device called “SmartFarm” that is equipped with a moisture-attracting material to absorb air moisture at night when the relative humidity is higher, and releases water when exposed to sunlight in the day for irrigation.

While Singapore will face challenges as it tries to become a sustainable tourism destination, industry players and experts are confident that it can meet such a target.
Speaking to CNA, Mr Christopher Khoo, the managing director for international tourism consultancy Masterconsult Services, said the move would be the “responsible” thing to do.
