Transforming Food

The Three Problems

Singapore imports most of its food but ranks high in food security.

This is because we source them from a wide range of countries.

But the COVID-19 Pandemic has shown that there is room for improvement.

We can do more to ensure there is enough to feed our nation.

We need to redefine what it means to be food secure for the future.

Only a fraction of fresh foods produced end up on our plates.

During transport, we throw away 30% of them because of pests or decay.

Another 40% of the remaining are discarded in supermarkets.

A lot of edible food, unfortunately, goes to waste.

We need to find better ways to distribute our food from producers to consumers.

Our vegetables lose 30% of their nutritional value during transport.

Some are even placed in storage for days before they reach us.

Yet essential minerals and vitamins rapidly degrade within days from harvest.

Longer storage transportation and storage times reduce food quality.

We need to bring our food, farms and farms closer to us.
