With more than 90% of Singapore’s food needs being supplemented by exports, it is an undoubtable fact that self-sustainability is a big problem for our country and its food security. Limited land contributes greatly to our inability to manufacture our own food due to the spatial and ecological requirements of farming. The purpose of this project is to investigate the intricacies behind Singapore’s disability and methods by which we can alleviate the situation. In particular, we seek to examine the feasibilities of vegetarian alternatives to meat as a means to reduce the spatial and ecological impacts of meat farming. We are also aware of the entrenched consumer preference for food and have thus, decided on ways we can do to make the food more appealing to costumers. We hope that by doing so, we can take a small leap of faith in changing the consumer food preference in Singapore.
