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. =========== About On The Red Dot: CNA's weekly programme documents the stories of ordinary Singaporeans and celebrates their resilience, identity and sense of belonging. =========== On The Red Dot playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLkMf14VQEvTYbQaR9ddxnJmJRangPrY5f #CNAInsider #OnTheRedDot #FoodInsecurity #Poverty #Singapore For more, SUBSCRIBE to CNA INSIDER! https://cna.asia/insideryoutubesub Follow CNA INSIDER on: Instagram: https://ift.tt/2C3sZiR Facebook: https://ift.tt/2PPEuNA Website: https://cna.asia/cnainsider
