Did you know that 2024 marks 65 years of safe and secure food supply in Singapore?

We just wrapped up the inaugural AquaTropics Forum on 3 October 2024, co-organised by the Singapore Food Agency, AquaPolis, Urban Solutions & Sustainability Innovation & Enterprise Office (USS IEO) and NUS Enterprise. With over 220 participants, the forum featured cutting-edge innovations in aquaculture, bringing together leaders from academia, industry (farms, start-ups, solution providers) and public agencies. Themed “How Science Meets the Industry”, it showcased research advances and their practical applications in the aquaculture industry. 🌊 Key Highlights: ·     Overview of the aquaculture value chain and Singapore’s strengths.  ·     Technical Insights: Engaging presentations on disease prevention and management; feed and nutrition; genetics and breeding; sustainability. ·     Innovation Showcase: Talks and exhibitions of cutting-edge technologies by academic and industry leaders. ·     Bridging R&D and Industry: Discussions on translating research innovations into practical industry applications. ·     Launch of the Aquaculture Technologies Industry Consortium (AquaTIC) by AquaPolis: A platform aimed at addressing industry challenges and fast-tracking technology adoption. ·     Networking Opportunities: Foster new collaborations within the aquaculture sector.

I can say so much about the Singapore Cooperation Programme training in Assuring Food Safety and Security by the Singapore Food Agency and the Singapore Cooperation Enterprise I attended last week, but this would mean a relatively long post so I’ll just say that it was an amazing one-of-a-kind experience made possible by the incredible planning, preparation, and delivery of the course itself and the excellent standards, and the benefits of meeting and interacting with participants from countries with wildly different realities and food security challenges - among the participants were public officials from Kuwait, Brazil, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Samoa, Malaysia, Macedonia, Serbia, and Malawi. So many lessons to be brought back home and applied, but two major takeaways: 1. The great benefit of having a single authority with full ownership and responsibility for food safety and security. In Singapore’s case this integration happened in 2019. 2. The massive importance of having robust systems for food safety and security underpinned by enforcement. I was impressed by how food safety is at the core of Singapore’s national interests even though it conflicts with general food security, this in a country that imports > 90% of its food supply. In the pyramid of priorities, safety first. Special thanks to Melin Lim and Eric Lee and Lai Kim Tan-Low and all colleagues. #foodsafey #foodsecurity
