Buying local produce may cost more but is a 'co-investment' in S'pore's future food security: Grace Fu

SINGAPORE — When Singaporeans buy local produce, even if it costs more, they are"co-investing in the country's food resilience in the future", said Minister for Sustainability and the Environment Grace Fu on Thursday .

When people buy local produce, they are supporting the farms here as well as food and beverage outlets that use the farms' products, in what she described as a"symbiotic relationship". "Local produce may cost more but is more reliable and fresh — attributes that are valuable to consumers and businesses," she said.She said that this inter-generational compact which this generation does its part for future generations also applies to how the country is preparing itself for the impact of climate change.
