Despite the complexity of the problem, the series emphasizes the power of individual choices. A comprehensive survey reveals that only 7% of Singaporeans prioritize environmental impacts when choosing food, while 38% focus primarily on price. However, awareness is growing: about half are willing to reduce meat and dairy consumption if it helps curb climate change.
Innovative solutions are emerging. Tech companies develop lab-grown meat and cultured seafood, which promise to reduce land use and emissions associated with traditional farming and fishing. For example, Singapore has approved its first lab-grown chicken, produced via cell culture in bioreactors, drastically cutting down on emissions, water, and energy use.
