The Potential of Vertical Farming in Brunei Darussalam

Abstract

The issue of food security in Brunei justifies the need to increase the local agricultural production effectively due to the constraint of land scares for farming where the soil acidity in Brunei is high which affect the crop production.  Furthermore, climate change has affected the way we do farming. Vertical Farming (VF) plays an important role in modern agricultural practices today. VF has the potential to produce crops all year round and using less land. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to highlight how VF works and determine the economic potential of vegetables vertical farming in Brunei. It is a content analysis of literature review. The findings show the potential of vegetables vertical farming in Brunei although may face some challenges. The findings may benefit the policymakers and farmers moving towards modern application of vertical farming and attract the interest of youth to participate in the agricultural sector.
