Among the most important things scientists say must happen to reduce the impact of food production on the Earth’s climate and environment: Produce more food using less land.
Singapore — a country with nearly 6 million people and almost no farmland — has long relied on importing nearly all of its food. Now the country is trying to change that.
In 2019 Singapore launched a program called 30 by 30, designed to spur the country to produce 30% of its food by 2030, while still using less than 1% of its land for agriculture.
