Look Ahead 2020: Environment — Food Security to Take Centre Stage While Climate Change Activism Forges Ahead
In a story examining what is in store for the environment landscape in Singapore in 2020, Prof Paul Teng, who is an adjunct senior fellow at RSIS and a food security expert, said 2020 will be the year the government will be focused on putting its “30 by 30” goal into action. This includes embarking on research to help farms here increase their productivity and implementing technology to prevent diseases that may affect fish production. At the same time, he highlighted how African swine fever could lead to an increase in pork prices, while monsoons in the East or Southeast Asian region could affect the amount of fish caught in the wild, leading to higher fish prices.
