About

Food Security and Sustainability

In Singapore, due to climate change and geopolitical risks, we have set a “30 by 30” goal to be able to produce 30% of our nutritional needs by 2030. This goal is also embedded in the 2030 Singapore Green Plan, and will help build a more resilient food future. 

Some key focus areas that we would like to collaborate on includes:
  • Food Waste to Resource
  • Agricultural-based Food Technologies
  • Alternative Nutrition Sources: Plant-based Proteins
  • Circular Economy

Our Research Focus

Our initiatives are aligned with UON Discipline of Food Science and Human Nutrition (School of Environmental and Life Sciences)
