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 people 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 the challenges and solution of vegetables VF in Brunei. In depth interviews were conducted with respondents consist 12 modern farmers in Brunei, 1 officer in Department of Agriculture and Agrifood, 1 academics, and 1 services provider. The research findings reveal challenges encountered by farmers in Brunei practicing modern farming methods VF such as high investment cost; unpredictable weather condition; market dynamics and competition; Nutrient distribution, pest and disease; light distribution and the need of skilled labour. However, VF has the potential to attract youth to participate in the agriculture. The significant of the study provides valuable insight regarding the potential of VF as a solution for food security and may benefit farmers, youth and policy makers regarding modern application of VF in Brunei.
