Water issues in the country and its Impact on Agriculture Industry. 

In last few decades Singapore has witnessed a rapid industrialization after its Independence. Due to lack of natural resources of water and almost no ground water agriculture in the country greatly reduced during 1980s and country has to put a lot in food imports. 

Before modernization of the city places like Orchrad Road, which was a long corridor of  agricultural orchards suddenly disappeared and country became more reliant on imported goods from overseas. 

Singapore ranked 1st on the Food Security Index** as the agricultural production in Singapore is not enough to fulfill the needs of its  people and this is the reason almost 80% of countries food come from overseas.

Government of Singapore is working very aggressively towards its 30 by 30 goal which is to achieve the target of becoming 30% self sufficient in food production by the year 2030. To achieve this country is working on High tech food parks and vegetable farms 

During COVID-19 pandemic country realized the importance of food supply and therefore the government is encouraging urban farming on priority.
