Hi tech farming refers to the implementation of technology or technological method of production towards the primary industry.

for eg. some of the organic vegetables, soiless vegetables, oyster farming, etc.

as far as life is concern for such farming, there are always a high hidden cost as the return are slow. Many of the high tech farmers has also given up in view of the high cost of technology upon which cost outweight the benefits achieved.

Singapore has tried over the years to encourage such farming but has been unsucessful in many aspect. For eg. Organic vegetables may  be healthier as they claimed. but would you rather eat one where the sweetness of the vegetables itself does not seems to be present as compared to the normal ones that you buy in the market + it cost about 5 times more.
