Under the Singapore Green Plan 2030, the nation has set its goal to produce 30 per cent of the country's nutritional needs locally by 2030 to build a more resilient food future. Pivoting the use of biotech for conventional applications to the development of alternative protein is an innovative and ground-breaking way to increase sustainable food production.

Will it generate controversies the way genetically modified food has?
