Food Sustainability in Singapore
Public DepositedThe National University of Singapore (NUS) is committed to promoting sustainability on its campus as food insecurity is on the rise in Singapore. Our sponsor, Professor Veera Sekaran from the Regenerative Agritech Centre, tasked us with decreasing the food consumption carbon footprint by reducing food waste at the source to address food sustainability on campus. Through data collection and analysis, we identified findings that posed barriers and benefits to our goal. To address this concern, we developed and proposed behavior interventions to combat food waste on campus. Our recommendations include rice bowl portion displays, eco-friendly labels on menus, food samples of eco-friendly foods, and launching an educational poster campaign to bolster our recommended behavior interventions. These recommendations will serve NUS to reduce food waste and the carbon footprint, ultimately contributing to an overall improved campus food sustainability.
