Singapore, officially the Republic of Singapore, is an island country and city-state in maritime Southeast Asia.

It is located about one degree of latitude north of the equator, off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, bordering the Strait of Malacca to the west, the Singapore Strait to the south along with the Riau Islands in Indonesia, the South China Sea to the east, and the Straits of Johor along with the State of Johor in Malaysia to the north.

The country's territory comprises one main island, 63 satellite islands and islets, and one outlying islet; the combined area of these has increased by approximately 25% since the country's independence as a result of extensive land reclamation projects.

It has the second highest population density of any country in the world, although there are numerous green and recreational spaces as a result of urban planning.

With a multicultural population and in recognition of the cultural identities of the major ethnic groups within the nation, Singapore has four official languages: English, Malay, Mandarin, and Tamil.

English is the lingua franca, with its exclusive use in numerous public services.

Multi-racialism is enshrined in the constitution and continues to shape national policies in education, housing, and politics.

Farming or tax-farming is a technique of financial management in which the management of a variable revenue stream is assigned by legal contract to a third party and the holder of the revenue stream receives fixed periodic rents from the contractor.

It is most commonly used in public finance, where governments (the lessors) lease or assign the right to collect and retain the whole of the tax revenue to a private financier (the farmer), who is charged with paying fixed sums (sometimes called "rents", but with a different meaning from the common modern term) into the treasury.

Agriculture encompasses crop and livestock production, aquaculture, fisheries, and forestry for food and non-food products.

Agriculture was the key development in the rise of sedentary human civilization, whereby farming of domesticated species created food surpluses that enabled people to live in cities.

While humans started gathering grains at least 105,000 years ago, nascent farmers only began planting them around 11,500 years ago.

Sheep, goats, pigs, and cattle were domesticated around 10,000 years ago.

Plants were independently cultivated in at least 11 regions of the world.

In the 20th century, industrial agriculture based on large-scale monocultures came to dominate agricultural output.
