Introduction & Food Insecurity Context {#introduction}

Singapore’s Food Insecurity Reality

Singapore faces significant food insecurity challenges despite being an affluent nation. According to The Hunger Report by Singapore Management University’s Lien Centre for Social Innovation:

  • 10.4% of households experienced food insecurity at least once within 12 months (2020)
  • Up to 30% of people over 50 may not get enough to eat each day
  • Over 90% of food is imported, making food supply vulnerable
  • Even by 2022, 45.8% reported no improvement in their food security situation

This guide provides comprehensive information on food assistance programs available to help individuals and families in need.
