“Food as a resource is unevenly distributed everywhere in the world. It is a human right to have access to nutritious food sources, yet the poor and vulnerable often go hungry; at the same time, perfectly edible and good food is being thrown away.”
Despite being a gourmet paradise with Michelin-starred restaurants, it is difficult to believe that some families in Singapore still struggle to afford meals. Chin Bottinelli strives to challenge this unsettling reality. As a board member of the charity organisation Food from the Heart, it has been her mission to change that narrative.
“Our country is well-known for its affluence, and much has been written about our high standard of living, world-class hotels, and fine restaurants. And yet, amidst all the wealth and prosperity, there are many Singaporean families whose basic needs are not being met,” she says.
