About
Andrew Keong Ng is a leading researcher at the intersection of sustainable urban agriculture and emerging technologies. His work critically examines how disruptive innovations—including vertical farming, hydroponics, and aquaponics—can transform food production in densely populated cities. His highly cited 2021 review, "Emerging and Disruptive Technologies for Urban Farming: A Review and Assessment," has garnered 41 citations, establishing a foundational framework for evaluating the scalability, efficiency, and environmental impact of these systems. Ng’s contributions extend beyond technical assessment; he provides a holistic analysis of how urban farming can address food insecurity, reduce carbon footprints, and repurpose underutilized urban spaces. By synthesizing advancements in automation, IoT, and controlled-environment agriculture, his research guides policymakers, engineers, and urban planners toward resilient, localized food systems. Ng’s work is particularly notable for bridging engineering innovation with real-world sustainability challenges, making him a key voice in the global conversation on future food security. His scholarship continues to inspire interdisciplinary approaches to feeding growing urban populations while mitigating climate change.
