Debated in Parliament on 12 Jan 2026.
Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment (a) how will the Singapore Food Agency support and transition farms that had invested heavily in technology to meet the original broad "30 by 30" food sustainability target, but whose produce is less aligned with the new, specific protein and fibre targets for 2035; and (b) what enhanced grants or offtake schemes are available to assist such farms.
Mr Dennis Tan Lip Fong asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment why some types of vegetables have been excluded from the updated definition of "fibre" under the new targets for local fibre and protein production, which replaced the original "30 by 30" farming goals.
Mr Chua Kheng Wee Louis asked the Minister for Sustainability and the Environment given that the "30 by 30" has been revised to a new target for fibre and protein by 2035 (a) whether there are any food types that have been excluded in the new 2035 target; (b) if so, why; and (c) whether the new targets are intended to be aspirational or realistically achievable.
This will be addressed in the next Sitting on 13 January 2026, together with similar Parliamentary Questions for a more holistic reply.
