A partnership between SATS and Temasek Life Sciences Laboratory aims to commercialise locally developed, nutrient-rich food products, including antioxidant-rich tomatoes, climate-resilient Temasek Rice and jade perch fish.

The two-year collaboration seeks to scale production and integrate these products into meals served on flights, in schools and for national servicemen. Beyond improving nutrition, the initiative supports Singapore’s food security goals by encouraging local food innovation and reducing reliance on imports.
