'Food is a basic human need, yet its availability in adequate, safe, nutritious and regular amounts for humans is by no means assured. While land and water for food production are both declining at alarming rates due to natural and human causes, the demand for food is still growing as populations all over the world increase. On 4 July 2018, Professor Paul Teng, an academic from the Nanyang Technological University and Ms Manda Foo, owner and Chief Adventurer at Bollywood Adventures, discussed today’s most pressing food-related issues. The topic is based on the subject of Prof Teng and Ms Foo’s book, Food Matters: Food Security and the Future of Food which was also launched at the event. Food Matters is now available at all major bookstores. Download the ebook at http://www.tusitalabooks.com/ebook/food-matters/.
