- We are affected as a country. 
Singapore lacks the space and we rely heavily on other countries for imports. Therefore, it's important for us to start  vertical gardening initiatives, to ensure that in situation such as COVID-19, we still have local produces/resources. 

Food wastage is high in Singapore.  As we get our food easily from other country, most of us don't appreciate the efforts that come behind it. If we start to grow our own food, we might begin to understand the importance of reducing food wastage, and making better choices about our food.

What other limitations are there?
- As much as we are aware and encouraged to carry out such initiatives, as a fast-paced country, most of us work long hours, and we don't have the time and energy to commit to it.]]> 2021-11-27 05:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/blee0058/scuwpmvsh3nx2f1i/wish/1915137337 jong0073 https://padlet.com/blee0058/scuwpmvsh3nx2f1i/wish/1915137613 2021-11-27 05:29:31 UTC https://padlet.com/blee0058/scuwpmvsh3nx2f1i/wish/1915137613 nazinuka https://padlet.com/blee0058/scuwpmvsh3nx2f1i/wish/1915141072 We are starting our preparations now to deal with climate change that will last into the next century, and building up our national resilience for the future. Though Singapore has always been hot and humid, we don't want temperatures to be unbearably high. By increasing greenery and piloting the use of cool paint on building facades, we will moderate the rise in urban heat. As a food loving nation, we have to make our food supply more resilient. ]]> 2021-11-27 05:37:28 UTC https://padlet.com/blee0058/scuwpmvsh3nx2f1i/wish/1915141072 nazinuka https://padlet.com/blee0058/scuwpmvsh3nx2f1i/wish/1915142064 In recent years, Singapore has become a global leader in applying the vertical model to urban agriculture – experimenting with rooftop gardens and vertical farms in order to feed its many residents and achieving some degree of food security. This desire was further highlighted most recently by the many logistically challenges endured during the early stages of the global Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.]]> 2021-11-27 05:39:57 UTC https://padlet.com/blee0058/scuwpmvsh3nx2f1i/wish/1915142064 jong0073 https://padlet.com/blee0058/scuwpmvsh3nx2f1i/wish/1915142713 2021-11-27 05:41:34 UTC https://padlet.com/blee0058/scuwpmvsh3nx2f1i/wish/1915142713 blee0058 https://padlet.com/blee0058/scuwpmvsh3nx2f1i/wish/1915143265 2021-11-27 05:42:50 UTC https://padlet.com/blee0058/scuwpmvsh3nx2f1i/wish/1915143265 jong0073 https://padlet.com/blee0058/scuwpmvsh3nx2f1i/wish/1915143558 With land and labour constraints, and imminent climate change, the approach to food production needs to transform and be more creative. Farmers need to leverage on technology and innovation. Our future in food security lies in a modern and technologically-savvy farm sector that is fuelled by agricultural professionals.
On local production, we must recognise that farming today is no longer just toiling on a field under the hot sun. Modern farming should use technology, science, engineering and R&D to improve yields and operations. “We envision farms of the future will make use of integrated vertical and indoor systems, automation and robotics. They will be highly intensive and productive, and operate on minimal manpower]]> 2021-11-27 05:43:29 UTC https://padlet.com/blee0058/scuwpmvsh3nx2f1i/wish/1915143558
