Singapore has over 200 farms that produce some 10% of our food supply. Behind the scenes, farmers; entrepreneurs and scientists are working against the odds to produce not just more kinds of food, but better and more nutritious options.
With limited land and resources, Singapore imports 90% of all its food. But disruptions to the global supply chain could lead to shortages; price hikes and panic buying.
