As Singapore currently imports over<a href="https://www.sfa.gov.sg/docs/default-source/publication/sg-food-statistics/singapore-food-statistics-2021.pdf"> 90 percent</a> of its food, the need to build greater resilience to withstand external shocks and disruptions has become more acute, especially as the country braces itself for strong headwinds like rising food costs and an uncertain global environment. </p> <p>Singapore has several ways to tackle its food security issue in the short to medium term. First, it can bring its <a href="https://asiafoodjournal.com/magazine-november-to-december-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">supply chains</a> closer to home by adopting local sourcing and food production. Besides bolstering its food supply, opting for locally produced products can also change how value is distributed along the supply chain and shorten traceability paths on products, reducing the carbon footprint. </p> <p>Furthermore, industry players can also do their part in building a more resilient food future by embracing a ‘farm-to-fork’ approach and incorporating sustainability into all stages of their supply chain. One example is leveraging technology and innovation to track and reduce food waste better. Here at Sodexo, our WasteWatch programme utilises intelligent waste-management technology that makes it easy for teams to collect precise data on food waste in their restaurant and drive changes to cut food waste. Since implementing this programme in Singapore in 2016, we have offset over 5000 metric tonnes of carbon emissions, equivalent to over 1000 homes’ electricity consumption in one year.   </p> <p>Ultimately, achieving food security requires a whole-of-industry approach. Accelerating innovation in the <a href="https://asiafoodjournal.com/magazine-september-to-october-2022/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">agri-tech industry</a> will also be crucial for us to switch from resource consumers to self-sufficient and sustainable producers. </p>   </div><footer class="entry-footer"><p class="entry-meta"><span class="entry-tags">Other Topics: <a
