Committee of Supply 2026 debate, Day 4: Poh Li San on food security, resilience and safety
What lessons have been learnt from the failures of businesses in big-scale urban farms and plant proteins? What can the government do differently now to step up local produce? MP Poh Li San, who raised these questions on Singapore’s food targets in parliament on Tuesday (Mar 3), also wanted to know how these targets have emerged. Ms Poh stressed that even as the government works out a strategy to procure more food, Singapore must waste less. She wanted to know what the government plans to do to achieve this.
