NEAR the vegetable section of the BSC Fine Foods supermarket at Bangsar Shopping Centre in Kuala Lumpur stands a rather clinical-looking installation resembling a refrigerator.

It is in fact a 200 sq ft “plant station” where five varieties of lettuce are grown under the glare of LED light and remotely-controlled temperatures, ready to be picked by customers.
