Cigarette butts, soiled masks, soda cans, and half a pair of slippers 🚬😷🥤🩴   More than 70 SFA officers went litter-picking around Jurong East. Our colleagues at the @Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, @National Environment Agency (NEA) and @PUB, Singapore's National Water Agency also spent the afternoon doing the same, concurrently, near the Environment Building at Scotts Road.   Keeping Singapore clean shouldn’t just be the job of our hardworking cleaners. Singapore is our home and all of us must do our part too!   #YearOfPublicHygiene #CleanSG

I am Ng Jun Wei and I am part of the Planning and Organisation team. Within my division, I am involved in shaping SFA’s corporate planning processes/events, monitoring the enterprise performance and risk indicators and reviewing our organisation’s resource management framework. I am delighted to be part of the planning team, as it offers me the opportunity to contribute to shaping SFA’s strategic direction in fulfilling its mission of ensuring a secure and safe food supply for Singapore. This role also allows me to collaborate and better understand the work of other parts of SFA. I have had the privilege of leveraging various developmental opportunities that have enhanced my growth and capabilities to help me better execute my role. These opportunities include training courses, on-the-job training by my supervisors and corporate presentations to external stakeholders and counterparts. Through these experiences, I have not only acquired new skills and expanded my knowledge, but the opportunities also enabled me to take on new challenges and advance my career with SFA. #MSEFamily #OurSustainabilityOurResilienceOurEveryday

SMS @Koh Poh Koon recently went on a study trip to China, together with our SFA colleagues, exploring the vibrant aquaculture industry in Hainan and Guangdong provinces. They visited commercial fish farms, fish broodstock, and hatchery facilities, met industry executives and learned about their efforts in breeding, hatchery technology, fish nutrition and disease control. These insights would be valuable for the development of the Singapore Aquaculture Plan, so that we can transform Singapore's nascent aquaculture industry into a sustainable, thriving one! #aquaculture #foodsecurity https://lnkd.in/gk4CANmp

At the National Food Centre for Science, different teams test for various chemicals, bacteria, and contaminants, leaving no stone unturned. One thing’s for sure: our food scientists don’t play around when it comes to food safety! #foodsafety #SFA

Watch to find out how the ground deployment exercise for the new Visitor Management System was carried out at Pasir Panjang Wholesale Centre (PPWC).   This exercise enabled us to gather user feedback and make necessary adjustments for a smooth rollout with minimal disruption to PPWC’s operations. As a key distribution point in Singapore's food supply chain, such systems support contact tracing and enforcement efforts while preparing us for future emergencies and pandemics. Let's work together to enhance food safety and security! #foodsafety #foodsecurity
