Project description

Singapore is embracing a range of initiatives to help improve its food security and food supply, with one approach around food innovation already delivering tangible benefits The security and efficiency of food supply chains are significant issues for many countries around the world. In particular, countries with a lack of arable land, high population density and geographic challenges around proximity to food sources need a diversified and innovative approach to ensure their food supply chains are strong and efficient. Singapore is one such country, and with little farming land it imports more than 90 per cent of its food, according to the Singapore Food Agency. Singapore�s food security is vulnerable to global driving forces and trends, such as population growth, rising urbanisation and incomes, climate change and scarcity of resources. And as a nation that produces little food, Singapore must also accept prices set by food producers. This means that any shifts in global food supply will likely lead to food price increases in Singapore.
