Food security for Singapore

With trade tensions around the world, there is a risk that the disruption of the supply chain can affect the supply of food.

Singapore depends on imports for most of our food requirements. We are especially vulnerable to a disruption in the supply chain for food.

We need to produce our own food for our food security.

While rice, wheat and other staple food may be a challenge, we can produce our own eggs, poultry, vegetables and plants. With modern farming technology, we can increase the productivity of the farms to make it viable.

We only need to provide land at agricultural prices (and not commercial and industrial prices). By using technology to achieve high productivity, we can increase the productivity and get a high throughput for our limited land.

We can invite businesses with the experience in high tech farming to set up operations in Singapore by providing suitable land at agricultural prices and a guaranteed market for our local needs. With time, the local workers can learn the technology of high tech farming to ensure that we can rely on our local expertise.

I hope that our government leaders can pay attention to this challenge of food security and adopt the strategy that I have proposed (or any other better strategy that they can work out).
