Disruptions in Singapore’s food supply can happen from time to time. However, there are ways for the industry to stay ready and minimise the impact of such disruptions to our food supply – and SFA works with the industry to do just that.

To ensure food security, the Singapore Food Agency adopts the strategy of “three food baskets”, the foremost being the diversification of food sources. It also boosts local food production through funding for agriculture research and technology adoption, creative planning of farm spaces, and efforts to drum up community support for local farmers.

Executive Chef of Sentosa Golf Club, KK Kong prefers local produce and encourages consumers to go local. Meanwhile, Chef/co-founder of Super Simple, Jasper Jek finds the quality of some local produce “simply amazing”.

To game-change food security, Singapore needs to increase local production with an ambitious ‘30×30’ goal. With COVID-19 further amplifying this need, SFA launches an “express” grant to jump-start the industry into accelerated mode.
