Food sustainability and climate change are inextricably linked. While climate change affects global food security, sustainable food production and consumption practices have also come to the forefront as we face challenges of a warming Earth.
Singapore is actively addressing food sustainability challenges through edible urban agriculture and regenerative farming practices. How will the way we eat and live transform? Join us as we explore the journey toward a zero-waste nation and a resilient food future.
