The Living City: Cultivating Food, Community, and Nature in Singapore

This session moves beyond traditional food security discussions to explore a more holistic vision for Singapore: a “Living City” where food resilience, community wellbeing, and nature are deeply intertwined. We will connect the dots between high-tech urban farming, grassroots community gardening, soil regeneration, and nature-based solutions. The conversation will examine how activating underutilized urban spaces can do more than just grow food—it can restore ecosystems, build social cohesion, and enhance the daily wellbeing of residents. We will spotlight the innovators and community leaders who are making this vision a reality, from building healthy soil in the city to fostering biodiversity on rooftops.
