As part of our #HumanismAtHome initiative, we will be holding a Skype group chat (‘Skype Party’) on 9 May (Sat), 2pm.
TOPIC: PRODUCING OUR OWN FOOD AND MEDICAL SUPPLIES
Lockdowns around the world has sparked worries that there will be shortages in food and other essential supplies here. Although the situation is generally stable in Singapore, strengthening Singapore’s self-sufficiency is an evergreen topic among policymakers, community leaders, and concerned members of the public.
How can Singapore boost self-sufficiency for food and medical equipment? What can be done by the 1) government, 2) communities, and 3) individuals? As part of the discussion, participants are also encouraged to share examples of food they have been growing at home.
