Speaker:
Dr Maxine Allayne Darlene Mowe

Synopsis:
The growing local and global population is increasing world food demand. In the case of Singapore, the population is projected to reach 6.9 million by 2030, and it faces significant food security challenges considering that most of its food supplies are imported. How will we feed our population under these challenges? This session introduces the history of food security briefly, sustainability of current practices and challenges (growing threat of climate change, export bans, pandemics, impacts on biodiversity conservation) facing us now and in the next 50 years.
