"Producers of locally grown food face shortages and an uncertain future.
The Government is pushing for more locally grown food, given the increasingly real threat of a global food crisis. However, farmers spoke to say their future is uncertain ,with land leases in limbo and a lack of workers due to the unattractiveness of farm work.
Signapore has about 180 farms producing fish, vegetables and eggs. Others mainly sell ornamental flowers or fish. Currently, Egg production stands at 23%, fish at 7% and leafy vegetables at 7%."
