Enable food caring organisations to pursue quality mark accreditation by providing grants to cover the costs associated with adopting the standards and conducting training. Focus on creating partnerships and community-based redistribution networks. The Community Development Councils are ideally positioned to serve as key nodes. Within these hubs, several cold storage facilities can be added to extend the shelf life of perishable items. Issue carbon credits to promote environmental sustainability and generate revenue to recover logistics costs. MP Edward Chia made these suggestions in Parliament on Wednesday (Aug 6) to “amplify the impact” of the Bill. He said the Bill offers "transformative opportunities" for addressing food waste and enhancing food support for food-insecure communities.
