Part 7/10:
While urban farms thrive vertically and on rooftops, some Singaporeans are dedicated to preserving the country’s rural roots. Ivy’s Bollywood Farms, located in Kranji—one of the few remaining countryside pockets—embodies this effort. What started as a retirement plan has become a vital guardianship of Singapore’s heritage vegetables and traditional farming methods.
Ivy advocates for the importance of countryside spaces, arguing they are essential for children’s development and the conservation of rare produce that might otherwise disappear. Her farm produces heirloom vegetables and herbs, providing fresh ingredients for local chefs.
