| 1 | Noting with concern that Malaysia exports larger amounts of food to Singapore. More than 50% of |
| 2 | its eggs, and a significant amount of its meat and seafood. As of recently, Malaysia has |
| 3 | encountered a food shortage and is not able to keep up with Singapore’s demand for food. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Therefore, the nation must find a new, more stable food source to feed the country. |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Emphasizing that the United Nations has already regarded this topic and has been working with |
| 8 | The World Food Programme to bring food assistance to 80 million people in 80 countries which is |
| 9 | gradually increasing. This major concern has been brought up since 2020 and reached its peak in |
| 10 | 2022, which also states that this is an international problem brought up by Australia, Canada, New |
| 11 | Zealand, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, and Sweden. |
| 12 | |
| 13 | A major concern that the UN Chief has recently expressed at the G2 summit in Indonesia is that |
| 14 | |
| 15 | Without coordinated action, this year's crisis of affordability threatens to become a dire global food |
| 16 | shortage in 2023. This indicates that not only is Singapore affected by a lack of food exports but |
| 17 | other countries are too. |
| 18 | |
| 19 | We the delegation of Singapore do hereby: |
| 20 | |
| 21 | Call upon the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) of the United Nations to work with nations |
| 22 | like Singapore countries with similar circumstances to provide proper food security. |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Urge the FAO to communicate with the governments of these nations and separate 850 acres of |
| 25 | land to be used for agricultural intentions. |
| 26 | |
| 27 | Recommend the FAO to reserve $530K US dollars to fund these small farms. |
| 28 | |
| 29 | Counting on the United Nations to see the crucial issue of this resolution and to provide assistance |
| 30 | to what is needed. |
