  • Singapore is celebrated as a food paradise, but hidden amongst the heaping plates and fragrant aromas is a silent epidemic. Hunger. Why does hunger still exist in the wealthiest country in Asia? Germaine Tan meets a new generation of changemakers who think that technology may hold the answer to stopping it. She sets a taste test for Anirudh Agarwal and his 3D food printers and gets a pleasant surprise when she bites down into Ong Shujian’s lab-grown meat. Things get a little “fishy” when she meets Hannah Joe and her self-sustaining aquaponics production system and goes foraging with 19-year-old angler Lim Yi Xuan. As she joins Katrina Lee and her distribution network that’s helping to feed thousands of hungry households, Germaine discovers an often overlooked fact - that hunger isn’t always tied to poverty.

      I find it pointless and waste of energy.
      The drawn "image" is so 2D that it can be just done with someone good at piping cream, such things also already exist in mass production factory
      The only thing that they are trying to "sell" is the jam/cream vegetable thing which already exists in cream of "insert vegetable"

    Hmmm...wouldn't it be cheaper for them to shop for SGD5 worth of ingredients in a morning/wet market instead? At least that's what I'd do in Malaysia. Shopping at super marts are relatively more expensive.

    The fishing part is just pure pandering imo. It works for a few individuals for sure.
    It's safe to say we can't replicate it when we're talking thousands of people. It's not sustainable.

    On UA-cam "Hunger In Singapore: Are You Secretly Going Hungry? | On The Red Dot | Full Episode
    by CNA Insider" 1. To feed nutritiously to the unfortunate, why not take near to expiry fresh vegetables to blend with meat bone soup stock with salt, sugar and msg to feed people? Cook in a big central factory kitchen/at the back of temples/churches where utilities are subsidised or free from government? 2. Why not buy land and farms (Malay Malaysian part owner, Singaporean part owner) in Malaysia/Indonesia near the causeway or near railway stations that deliver cargo? It's much more feasible than growing vegetables on rooftops. 3. On the meat liquid essence meat with plant "structure" patty, some parents are apprehensive on how new meat will affect the human development of their children. Why not get celebrities and scientists to OK and advertise? Please feedback to management.

    Great show:) 3 points 1) parkland & landscaping should feature edible food forests. 2) there are 100 of hectares of lawns in S'pore stop cutting the grass & graze sheep. 3) very few of the communal gardens have fowl. Add fowl & miniature pigs to them all. Apartments near the water could keep ducks & geese ;)

    • @mikaylamerna62
      @mikaylamerna62 3 роки тому +1

      lol greats points, I think: 1) I love the idea of edible food forests but it may be quite difficult to implement and maintain because food crops need a lot of sunlight and care to grow well 2) I agree, the lawns can definitely be used for other purposes like growing food to create buffer parks to reduce the human traffic stress on our nature reserves 3) I feel that raising fowls for food are quite possible but bigger animals like sheep, goat and pigs may not be possible because there's a greater risk of spread of diseases. More importantly, they require a lot of space (community gardens are very small) and care, killing animals for food is also not easy lol. Keeping ducks and geese are quite smelly and their waste may pollute the river like in the case of kallang river before 1977.
      Growing food crops in the common spaces at HDB is one solution suggested by my prof since 80% of Singaporeans live in HDB. I feel that it is important to make people interested in growing their own food first and improve community bonding so that people feel more connected and motivated to grow food for sustainability.

      note I said minature pigs, ie vietnamese pot bellied pigs, not large animals & not large numbers. The sun is so bright in Singapore that you can grow 3 levels of fruit trees, & still grow bushes & vegetables below. My grandparent's did it in British Columbia Canada, & I've seen it in Mexico, & Costa Rica. Costa Rica has the Northern town of Heredia, where the Chinese pioneers at the turn of the last Century planted Lichi & Loquat along all the residential streets. Now the whole city is an edible food forest. I've seen nut & fruit trees planted along residential streets ( but not city wide) through out all the Americas, & in Asia such as the Philippines. Seattle's Guerrilla Gardners having been illictly grafting fruit bearing wood stock onto previously sterile blossom trees, so now whole neighborhoods are literally food forests. I have seen some Singapore community gardens have a few chickens, I would advise that most try to keep 1 to 3 dozen. No large flocks. The same for ducks & geese at properties within a block of the water. Floating plant beds in reservoirs, &;kelp farms along the coast can stop eutrophication, as they use up the nitrogen. Further oxygenation can be increased with solar powered fountains, & floating wind powered mini Dutch windmills pumping air into the water. Floating plant beds can also grow food as in Lake Titicata, Mexico City, & Bangladesh's Delta. As to sheep & small pigs again keep only a few & only on dry bedding - shredded cardboard, wood chips, rice chaff & straw or any other dry similar agricultural waste. The manure quickly turns it into compost. Wander fowl will eat up all the flys. A chicken can eat a quarter pond of bugs a day, a duck & goose a 1/2 pound a day. The fowl act as pest control & weeders through out the garden they should be looked at as workers 1st, eggs & meat is just a bounus ;) Keeping small numbers of small animals in low densities, with dry bedding, prevents disease most out breeaks. Also dry bedding & the maure quickly break down to compost .... feel free to DM me FB: Myson Effa in Pemberton, British Columbia, Canada. Good luck with your studies.

    OMG food is cheap in Singapore! You can eat like a king there on $5 a day. On $5 a day in the USA, I could do it but I'd have to visit a lot of dumpsters and pick some "weeds" too. Maybe get into trapping, we have too many squirrels here anyway.

    No, you should learn to eat what it is. Wtf. Why 3D print food paste? You already make cookies and cakes in wishing shapes which is pretty as it is. Don’t mess with food.. Don’t make things easier as if an apple is candy, don’t mislead people, especially children. Nothing innovative about that. It’s disgusting conformity. Which is misleading and should not be the normal commerce. Private use? FiNe!
    Vitamines are another alternative because some people may not afford nutritional food and you want to prevent internal stomach damage.
    But vitamine intakes are also questionable for your kidneys, cause kidney stones.
    I recognize a trend with seniors/eldery that they assume to be ill/sick and should take vitamines. No, you should just eat clean nutritional food and no mees.
