will need to explicitly recognise

The question remains as to whether the Singapore model is replicable by other small states or scalable to achieve a high level of food self-sufficiency. Singapore has three main sources to make food available — imports, domestic self-production and overseas production. Small island states like Singapore, while aspiring to achieve more self-reliance, will need to explicitly recognise the role of imports — and supply chain openness — at the outset. Production costs will inevitably have to be weighed against the willingness of consumers to pay more for local produce — consumer acceptance cannot be assumed. At a macro-level, government support for infrastructure should also be considered. Looking forward, urban farming is likely to remain a niche activity at best, albeit with potential to complement increased demands for specialty food and provide some resilience in times of disrupted supplies. สล็อตเว็บตรง
