Poh Li San wraps up debate on motion on securing Singapore’s food future
Singapore's food future will not be secured by one solution alone; it will take all parts of its food system working together to achieve this. MP Poh Li San said this in parliament on Wednesday (Sep 9), as she wrapped up the debate on the motion on securing Singapore’s food future. She warned that Singapore’s “thin narrative" of its food story "has not served us well”. Affluence and modern-day conveniences may lead Singaporeans to take food for granted and down the path of apathy, where food resilience and reducing food wastage are ignored as serious concerns. She urged Singaporeans to “eat our every piece of food with care”, support local farmers and appreciate the workers in the food supply chain. They should also keep their minds open and explore alternative food sources, as well as ensure that fellow Singaporeans always have access to affordable food. The motion was unanimously approved by the House.
