Let’s take a closer look at what solar panels look like and find out how solar energy has helped SDC in reducing its reliance on electricity.
Urban Garden
Have you ever seen plants growing on compact urban spaces such as the rooftops of HDB blocks or walls of office buildings? Learn how modern urban farming solutions can help potentially solve our nation’s battle with food security.
