Brandon Yeo and Ryota Wong started Urban Green Dot in 2019 with a simple goal—making urban farming accessible to Singaporeans. What began as a small indoor farming initiative during the COVID pandemic has now grown into a full-fledged farm, offering workshops across Singapore to teach people about sustainability and the future of urban agriculture. They don’t just talk about sustainability—they live it. From cutting down plastic waste to using eco-friendly materials in their farming, they constantly find ways to reduce their environmental impact. Beyond their business, they give back by donating fresh, pesticide-free vegetables to families in need. With their hands-on approach and commitment to the community, Brandon and Ryota are helping shape a greener, more self-sufficient Singapore.
