Hence, sustainability is about building efficient logistic systems that transport food in sufficient quantity while maintaining freshness.]]> 2023-05-16 02:02:59 UTC https://padlet.com/nusftc/6a8d5dp6l7r4kvbp/wish/2592189220 Mabelyn_TateandLyle https://padlet.com/nusftc/6a8d5dp6l7r4kvbp/wish/2592228190 Even though we are able to mitigate risk in Singapore due to diversified supplies, our reliance on food imports makes us highly susceptible to supply disruptions. COVID-19 was the wake-up call for Singapore to embark on our 30-by-30 strategy to reduce this reliance on food imports.
However, in view of the impact of climate change on global crop yields, what are the areas to rethink our crop technologies and consumption patterns to ensure food security for the world?]]> 2023-05-16 02:26:48 UTC https://padlet.com/nusftc/6a8d5dp6l7r4kvbp/wish/2592228190 Mabelyn_TateandLyle https://padlet.com/nusftc/6a8d5dp6l7r4kvbp/wish/2592365382 TLDR: "Even though the global population in 2050 will be just 25 percent higher than it is now, typical projections claim that farmers will have to boost food output by 50 to 100 percent. The main reason is that increased affluence has always multiplied the demand for animal products such as cheese, dairy, fish, and especially meat—and growing feed for animals requires much more land, water, and energy than producing food simply by growing and eating plants. Exactly how much more meat tomorrow’s billions will want to consume is unpredictable, but if they are anywhere near as carnivorous as today’s Westerners, the task will be huge." 

While we live in an affluent part of the world where food accessibility is an afterthought and not a daily concern, we feel the impact of climate change and have a growing worry about food security. This motivates me to make changes to my daily food choices.

Food accessibility - having access to adequate resources to acquire appropriate foods for my diet (e.g., food ingredient list is important - people with certain health conditions will be able to identify and avoid certain food ingredients)]]> 2023-05-19 03:09:19 UTC https://padlet.com/nusftc/6a8d5dp6l7r4kvbp/wish/2597080479 https://padlet.com/nusftc/6a8d5dp6l7r4kvbp/wish/2597086791 I think for millennials, acquiring appropriate food isn't a huge problem since they are more educated and are more aware about the different types of food they are consuming. For example, if you want to eat certain foods higher in certain nutrients, you can technically google to find out. 

However, for the ageing population, some elderly are not well informed about these information. Therefore they might not have access to foods that are suitable for their diets (e.g., elderly should have a good balance of protein in their diet). Instead, their food choices will be limited to food that are most physically accessible to them - e.g., buying foods that are cheap in nearby stores without considering its nutritional value. ]]> 2023-05-19 03:14:11 UTC https://padlet.com/nusftc/6a8d5dp6l7r4kvbp/wish/2597086791 https://padlet.com/nusftc/6a8d5dp6l7r4kvbp/wish/2597095535 Food security - support local produce instead of heavy reliance on imports.
