""From Farm to Table"" - Tour Description
Eating is Singapore’s national pastime, and food is our obsession! However, did you know that over 90% of our food today is imported? In the event of a crisis, this supply could be severely affected. When discussing Singapore's national security, eating is not the first thing that comes to mind. In fact, this conversation is critical as we explore the topic of food security. Join us on an enlightening journey exploring Singapore's unwavering commitment to ensuring food security and sustainability.
The ""From Farm to Table"" tour goes beyond the plate, delving into the strategic initiatives driving Singapore's food resilience. Visit local farms where sustainable practices and cutting-edge technologies are used to increase crop production without compromising our environment. This tour is a deep dive into the heart of Singapore's efforts towards our 30 by 30 vision and securing a sustainable food future for our people.
