What It Takes To Keep 5 Million Fed: Inside Singapore's Race To Food Security | Feeding A City 

but there is no need for huge land for farms, since we can build them in a building

@@nekomeow6278 cancel golf courses. more vertical farm buildings 😂

lmao..

Do you have any idea how many HDB block there are, more than 1 million so the problem is not enough manpower.

Air and water can also contain pollutants which are absorbed by the plants, especially in the city.

Also depends on quality you know. Like I only recently discovered a local branded and produced yogurt (Daily Fresh), and it's delicious; not that sweet or not that sour. So now I will get that vs imported overly sweet or overly sour yogurt. Same for other produce like eggs.

There's high trend in restaurants sourcing local produce, meat and dairy from local farmers.

that is why we must support them, so they will lower their price, if nobody support our local farmers, their prices isn't going to drop, we have to start somewhere, we can't always have the mindset of, high price means not worth buying

They rather starve their own people so they can profit off selling to other countries, where the product is also sold at high price because it's imported. And if no one pays it... It gets dumped in a landfill to rot.

@@dhrgkbqxtjr2743 Singapore import price it so stupid versus I saw other website include no import price to be paid.

Milk is usually a price controlled product by the government in Western countries because it is classed as an essential food staple.

Absolutely correct....

Are you protectionist......?? Let the free markets decide....

@TORRES PAUL FRANCIS RIVERA Student You shouldnot use tarriffs to diversify food supply

@TORRES PAUL FRANCIS RIVERA Student watch the whole video....... One woman in the video was saying to impose tariffs.... I know right now there are no tariffs and thats good

Yeah, as long as the price is lower than imported ones & also we don't know the amount of chemical or pesticide they used.

You br surprised how plant protein are being used create substances for meat which has same texture and flavors added look like meat

@@paulfleming715 still don't taste the same. Tried before still not to my taste.

I had the same thinking as you, until I tried the soy base patty in a burger and omg it was so good

Sell it in Western nations on masse first. Stop trying to make people here eat some lab concoction. If you want to eat meat, eat it in its natural form. If we want Jackfruit, eating it in its natural form is the best retention of the nutrition the fruit offers!

"They probably think Chinese people belong in China not in Singapore or Malaysia." I think that is like a zakir naik saying.

Singapore is nothing but an empty shining facade of a city paved with gold and precious stones but underneath is a festering rot. It's hyperaccelerated growth in the last thirteen years is fuelled by Ponzi economics and mass human importation and inflationary tactics,a human sweatshop and animal farm for GDP....an abomination,a freak of nature,it appeals only to those who do not know or understand what it is or has become,a soulless manufactured entity......a manmade tragedy. What national identity or ties to it's past has slowly been eroded and eradicated,whatever little and fragile it had anyway, painstakingly build by LKY and 40 years of nation building and nationalism....familiar landmarks and

Now they are putting solar panels on the rooftops nearer to the mrt railways

who are u?

PAPm

What can you do with a country so small? Only 725km2.. have you seen Hongkong?

@@starhawkflyingbright6905 well... the difference: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-A2H1GeEHEEE.html&ab_channel=AnimalEquality

Ummm there are lots of high calorie vegetables. Lentils. Kidney Beans. Soybeans. Sweet Potato. Avocado. Yams. Potatoes. To name a few but yeah not to mention grains, nuts, coconut. All have higher health benifits than meats. But what would I know as a sports nutritionist elite athlete.

Ahh no the flavour takes after nutrient levels, temerature and produce that can be picked as cost to ripe as possible without spoiling. Which is why local produced tomatoes will always be better than tomatoes shipped from overseas as the overseas are picked whilst green and ripened in containers. I grow both hydroponic and soil based crops, both tatste great.

America gets tons of its produce from overseas, especially off season. it's cheap.

They just need to grow weed and opium,there's no way u can recoup the cost growing bok choy in Singapore. And a business that's reliant on subsidies is not viable long term

You haven't tried meat substitutes for sausage and bacon products that taste very good. And much healthier than meats with chemical additives

@@paulfleming715 All these meat substitutes uses `vegetable` oil and most uses soy as filler and you think its healthier? Its not even healthy as oils have shown to increase cell oxidization, lowering lifespan and its possible the cause of many disease. And soy is a hormone disruptor. And the worse is how much we consume it. These toxic waste are in every food and you want us to replace meat with more of it? 🤢🤢🤮

Do you know that when they buy veggies in markets or in Giant's price of 3 veggies for $2.00; they choose and choose the best plastic packet, then push them aside until the veggies got bruises. At the end of the day, these veggies costs becomes a loss of profit to sellers😭 So ???🤔

And there is still no food shortage and never will be. Not in Singapore, at least.

​@@schmetterling4477 Nahh man, there was chicken shortage in Singapore due to Malaysia banning their export. Due to that the Singapore importing their chicken from Indonesia. And also Singapore gas and energy still depends on Indonesia to supply it.

@@aldinoruswandi I have not seen a significant reduction of traffic in Singapore. ;-)

@@schmetterling4477 wdym

@@schmetterling4477 is there a traffic in Singapore?

😂

This is same as what we are eating chemical food

i ve seen people who eat pills as food,

​@@vanamharish9507 Well yes. Since we are already eating plenty of chemicals and microplastics (already found in seafood and even our water supplies), might as well just eat pills. Frees up lots of time for other activities too.

@@abdallahahmed43 Yes I'm almost there. Since I have a permanent throat injury, can no longer eat any vegetables since they are too fibrous - so I take powdered ''green'' drinks. And who knows if the drink is made of real greens or created in a ''food'' lab..

Food for thought

I mean, they didn't have any land left

Suggest a green alternative that’s producible on a large scale then

u must be Indonesian, everything also want to claim

Sigh. Beginning already stated currently producing 10% of all food supply. Pay attention.

I manage to get S'pore grown vegetables everytime i go to the supermarkets.

Human need protein to survive, idiot

@@leehyunsong7001 Plant can provide all nutrients required to sustain life. Protein included. Many people in the world don’t eat meat and they feel just fine.

@@er1cw animal protein and plant protein are two different things. Sorry to say we human evolved not as vegetarian.

@@leehyunsong7001 They have different amino acid profile. But plant protein still can sustain life and build muscle as well as animal protein. How can you prove that human must eat animal protein while many vegan athletes are winning medals and thriving without eating meat at all.

@@er1cw how can you prove eating only plants will use only half ofnthe land and solve the climate problem?

Yes, but battery farming method is unfortunately the only way to mass produce chicken. I mean there is less land used and the chicken can be butchered really quickly. It's supply and demand in the end, if we ate more plants chicken and pigs could be ethically reared.

Cage chickens or broiler chickens as they call it is how u get that delicious KFC 8 piece bucket and Arnold's chicken without costing a bomb. If u want to pay $8 for a drumstick go to trader's Joe

@@kuchikopi4616 I disagree. While I have experienced organic products to be unaffordable for low-income families in the UK, they're much more affordable in Germany and other countries with a bigger market for them. So in that case, demand can actually help solve the problem. And this is also a win-win situation because people who have chosen to change to organic meat will probably buy less meat, not just because of they're awareness but simply because it is more expensive

@@jont2576 I don't know what you're talking about. This seems like a problem of American fast food culture to me. Maybe you should just stop giving all your money to the billionaires owning the fast food chains, and start eating real food (like almost all the 7 billion not-American people in this world do). And I bet you will pay less for that food after you have found the hidden gems in your city, even if you have to look more that ten feet away from your next McDonalds

@@stoopidsillyyy5831 american fast food culture?lmao....thats how 95% of the chickens in the world that is being eaten is produced....the chicken at kfc or made into ur mcspicy patties...the chicken sold in ur supermarket rotisserie,the frozen chicken u buy from the poultry section......the chicken in ur chicken rice in every hawker center in singapore,every singaporean stall selling anything thats related to chicken.....thats BROILER GMO CHICKEN TWIT......chicken specifically modified and bred to grow into unnatural sizes within hyperaccelerated time frames. do u honestly think that cheap ass chicken that cost 5 bucks per kg is anything close to real food?ahahahaha peasants in asia can afford to eat real food but rich people in western countries cant?im a born and bred singaporean and im dieing laughing.....go back to ur stupid gems u twit. u people shop at sheng siong and ntuc for christ sake not cold storage,jason's marketplace or Isetan at orchard......all ur chicken are bred by massive corporations and gmo farms trying to drive their cost down to the cheapest.... u want to know where u can find organic free range chicken....maybe try poulet restaurant at kallang wave mall......they charge $20 for half a roast chicken.....thats gotta be some special ass organic free range bird fed with imported grass and worms from new zealand lol..... u know the why organic is so expensive.....by the very nature its bred and its high maintenance requirements like some golden princess........chickens gotta have room to run about and land is a premium especially for something like chickens....u gotta give it all natural food, worms from worm farms,compost and what not, no chemicals and injections for the birds,no genetic modifications,no hyperaccelerated growth, no special feed,u get tiny ass chickens which means less meat and more expensive......u cant cram thousands of them into a warehouse.......

Yes delicious! I’m always gonna feel bad for the animals but I still eat them. :)
