Motion: Kenneth Goh on securing Singapore’s food future
Singapore has made important moves towards a broader and more diversified food strategy. But when it comes to resilience, important gaps remain, said NMP Kenneth Goh. In parliament on Wednesday (Sep 9), he raised three questions for consideration. Are Singapore’s alternative food sources genuinely diversified in the risks they face, or could the same shock affect several at once? When disruption occurs, how well can the food network absorb the shock and reconfigure around it? And what strategic positions and capabilities should Singapore enterprises build in global food networks before disruption occurs?
