Farm to table: A strategic approach to smart manufacturing in F&B 

By Marcelo Tarkieltaub

THE global food system is facing challenges from geopolitics and global warming that are disrupting food production and supply chains. Singapore is especially vulnerable to supply disruptions, as it imports more than 90 per cent of its food.

To mitigate these risks, Singapore aims to produce 30 per cent of its food domestically by 2023. This will require food and beverage (F&B) manufacturers to adopt new technologies and practices to produce and distribute food in a highly productive and resource-efficient approach.
