Singapore’s Approval of Lab-Grown Meat Helps Sustain Food Security
China Daily Asia (Hong Kong)

Singapore’s decision to allow the production and sale of laboratory-grown meat will help the land-scarce country to attain its goal of reducing food imports without sacrificing food security, analysts said. Dr Paul Teng, Professor and Adjunct Senior fellow at the Centre for Non-Traditional Security Studies at RSIS Singapore, said the production of cultured meat is in line with the Singapore government’s “30 by 30” food security plan. “For a country that currently imports 90 percent of its food, every little bit that contributes to (increasing) local production will (contribute to) food security,” Teng said.
