Abstract:
The article examines Singapore's proactive approach to addressing its food security challenges amid limited natural resources and external pressures such as climate change and global market volatility. In light of the '30 by 30' goal, which aspires to produce 30% of the nation's nutritional needs in Singapore by 2030, the article outlines Singapore's drive for innovation through a comprehensive framework based on technological innovation, regulatory agility and collaborative partnerships that underpin Singapore's food security strategy. Key factors for success include strategic leadership, robust investments in research and development, the nurturing of a skilled workforce and a focus on sustainable practices and market acceptance. Lessons and parallels with global leaders in different sectors of food innovation are also explored. By positioning itself as a hub for cutting-edge food technologies and sustainable practices, Singapore aims to set a benchmark for resilience in food systems that can serve as a model for other nations confronting similar issues.This article is part of the theme issue 'Transforming terrestrial food systems for human and planetary health'.
