Singapore commits S$138m to boost food security and agri-food innovation over five years

Singapore is investing S$138 million over five years to strengthen food security and drive agri-food research and innovation. Key areas include developing climate-resilient crops, breeding better quality young fish and improving food safety. Researchers will also explore using data to predict climate risks and food supply disruptions, as well as technologies to extend food shelf life. The push comes as Singapore, which imports more than 90% of its food, faces growing threats from climate change and disruptions to global food supplies. Natalie Ong reports.
