Why is there a need for strategies to ensure food security?
How can the three strategies mentioned in the video be introduced?

• high-tech controlled environments
• automate and integrate systems via robotics and sensors. 
• Indoor multi-storey vegetable farms that use light-emitting-diode technology and recirculating aquaculture systems
• Singapore Food Agency (SFA) offering technical support, research-and-development tie-ups and the transfer of technology to farmer e.g advanced systems such as curtain systems that shade crops and reduce the impact of high temperatures on crop growth.  

• Underused and alternative spaces such as vacant state buildings, rooftops and even the deep sea. 
• Deep-sea fish farming e.g. Barramundi Asia — Singapore’s largest farm rearing barramundi (Asian sea bass) in large sea-cage enclosures off Semakau island.
