SINGAPORE, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The Singapore International Agri-Food Week (SIAW) returns for its fourth edition from 18 to 22 November at Sands Expo & Convention Centre, Marina Bay Sands. Asia's leading platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and collaboration, SIAW gathers global industry leaders, policymakers, decision-makers, and innovators to explore groundbreaking solutions, forge new partnerships, and advance agri-food technology development and adoption across the region. Themed 'Scaling Innovation in Asia's Agri-Food Systems', SIAW 2024 comprises four constituent events: the Roundtable on Novel Food Regulations, the Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Innovation Summit, the Agri-Food Tech Expo Asia, and the Global Agri-Food Scientific Symposium. These events showcase the latest innovations in sustainable food production, while providing attendees with multiple opportunities to create and share solutions amongst a like-minded community committed to driving impactful change in the region's agri-food industry. The week will begin with the SIAW Welcome Reception, an exclusive, by-invitation event held on the evening of 18 November 2024. It will be officiated by Singapore's Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Trade and Industry Mr Gan Kim Yong. The reception provides a unique opportunity to engage and network with a distinguished group of agri-food corporates, start-ups, entrepreneurs, business executives, investors, policymakers, research scientists, and trade partners. The SIAW is jointly organised by the Singapore Food Agency (SFA) and Temasek; supported by Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR), Enterprise Singapore (EnterpriseSG), Singapore Economic Development Board (EDB), and Singapore Tourism Board (STB); and with organising partners Constellar and Rethink Events. The largest edition to date, SIAW 2024 expects to welcome 12,000 attendees from 82 countries and regions, 300 exhibitors and 400 speakers. Nurasa, a wholly-owned Temasek company that focuses on accelerating the adoption of affordable and appealing sustainable nutrition solutions, is a Gold Partner for SIAW 2024. Scaling Innovation in Asia's Agri-Food Systems Asia will contribute significantly to the projected 9.7 billion global population by 2050. By that time, Asia and the Pacific would have also more than doubled the number of persons aged 60 and above, from 630 million in 2020 to 1.3 billion in 2050 - representing a quarter of its population. To cater to a growing ageing population, the demand for access to greater quality food and better nutrition will continue to rise rapidly. The ability for food systems to meet this demand will in turn be susceptible to climate change, environmental degradation and supply chain disruptions. Asia plays an indispensable role in the global agri-food landscape. As the largest producer of rice, it feeds over half of the world's population and accounts for 90 percent of global production. The greater Asia-Pacific region is also the largest and most diverse agricultural market globally. Scaling innovation, and enabling coordinated effort for collective impact, remain critical enablers in transforming food systems in Asia to be more resilient, sustainable, and accessible. Strengthening food resilience in Asia will also have a positive impact on the global value chain. To achieve this collective vision, Singapore, as a stable and connected global-Asia node, serves as a vital food technology hub, a key supply chain player, and a trusted food and nutrition centre, convening and connecting a global ecosystem of food producers, suppliers, technology providers, policymakers, regulators, and other industry players. Against this backdrop, SIAW 2024 has curated content spanning across regenerative agriculture and aquaculture systems, to protein diversification and accessible nutrition, providing an invaluable platform for catalysing the transition to a sustainable and nutritious agri-food system in Asia. Regulation for Tomorrow's Food: Roundtable on Novel Food Regulations Organised by SFA since 2019, the by-invitation Roundtable on Novel Food Regulations is a platform for regulators, local and international industry players, researchers, and members of international organisations to discuss latest technologies for novel food production, challenges in safety assessment, and explore opportunities to advance the regulatory approach while encouraging food innovations. This includes key topics such as the development of a safety-assessed ingredient list for cell culture media components, production of fermentation-derived novel food products, and global regulatory best practices. Accelerating Climate Resilience and Nutrition in Asia: Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Innovation Summit Organised by Rethink Events in partnership with Temasek, the Asia-Pacific Agri-Food Innovation Summit is the anchor event of SIAW, bringing together 1,000 global agri-food stakeholders over three days to address the key pillars of climate adaptation, decarbonisation and nourishment. From regenerative agriculture, biological inputs and AI-driven solutions to climate-smart aquaculture, novel proteins and precision fermentation, the Summit will explore the innovative solutions and financing strategies that are meeting demand for nutritious and affordable foods. Guest-of-Honour Dr Koh Poh Koon, Singapore's Senior Minister of State for the Ministry of Sustainability and the Environment, will deliver the opening keynote, setting the scene for three days of C-level thought leadership, networking and technology discovery. The illustrious 100+ speaking faculty features an A-list of agri-food pioneers and investors, including Olam Agri, Mondelez, Shell Energy, Google, World Bank, CP Foods, BASF, FrieslandCampina, Unilever and Thai Union. Dozens of regional and international start-ups and scale-ups will feature at the summit, with cohorts presented by Enterprise Singapore, Innovate UK, MARS, Hatch and The Yield Lab Asia Pacific. Into the Future of Food Sustainability and Security: Agri-Food Tech Expo Asia Organised by Constellar, Agri-Food Tech Expo Asia (AFTEA) is a focused exhibition platform with a living lab environment, thematic experiential zones, sandbox and community-based learning for the agri-food industry to launch, showcase and testbed their solutions. This year it will provide direct access to 300 exhibitors, including 100 start-ups and 20 international groups, showcasing the latest innovations, practices, and strategies. An expected 10,000 attendees will engage with global leaders, industry experts, suppliers, corporates, start-ups, institutes, and pioneering innovators in Novel Food Technology, Urban Farming, Alternative Proteins, Aquaculture, Safety & Sustainability, Technological Solutions, and more. New this year is the Precision Fermentation Pavilion, a dedicated space showcasing the latest advancements in precision fermentation technology; as well as the Climate-Smart Practice Forum, featuring senior executives of World Bank, Mars, RIZE, Mae Fah Luang Foundation and the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Cementing its position as Southeast Asia's biggest platform convening the agri-food tech start-up ecosystem, AFTEA is also introducing the Agri-Food Innovation World Championship. Organised by Constellar and Innovate 360, the Championship aims to identify, support and celebrate innovative early-stage start-ups with high growth potential in the areas of agri-tech, food sustainability, health & wellness, and deep-tech. Global Agri-Food Scientific Symposium – Innovation and Sustainability: Transforming the Food Landscape Organised by SFA and the Singapore Institute of Technology, the Symposium aims to bring together researchers, scientists, and technology solution providers to encourage knowledge exchange and catalyse scientific discussions amongst those with an interest in the food ecosystem. It also serves to advance cutting-edge science, technology and innovation, and foster collaboration to build agri-food capabilities for climate-resilient and sustainable food ecosystems. This year's theme is "Innovation and Sustainability: Transforming the Food Landscape" and will feature academic and research experts presenting across four tracks: Aquaculture, Agriculture, Future Foods, and Nutrition & Food Safety. With the urgent challenges facing global food systems, SIAW continues to be the nexus for the region's agri-food ecosystem, bringing together research and development, policy discussions and business innovations to enable collaboration and action unlocking collective impact in the agri-food sector.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 3, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Food isn't just about eating, it's about exploring, experiencing, and enjoying every bite. And the best place to do that is where a favorite dish originates from. Digital travel platform Agoda has unveiled the top destinations in Asia that travelers visit specifically for a culinary trip, and it's South Korea that takes the crown for foodies on the move. No less than 64% of travelers to South Korea shared with Agoda that South Korea's culinary delights are their main reason for traveling. The land of kimchi, Korean barbecue and fried chicken is followed closely by Taiwan (62%), with Thailand (55%), Japan (52%, and Malaysia (49%) completing the top five. The study surveyed over 4,000 Agoda users after they completed bookings to destinations in various markets. Top Five Foodie Destinations (Based on Agoda's survey data) 1. South Korea 2. Taiwan 3. Thailand 4. Japan 5. Malaysia Andrew Smith, Senior Vice President, Supply at Agoda said, "Food is a cultural experience. Some travelers are so passionate about food that they book a restaurant abroad even before securing their flights. Our survey data clearly shows that travelers are seeking out destinations where they can immerse themselves in local cuisines and traditions rather than just sightseeing. Agoda is proud to offer great value deals to visit these foodie heavens, so that there's more left to spend on the tastiest local dishes." Here's a whirlwind Culinary Tour Through Asia's Top Five food destinations: 1. South Korea South Korea's culinary scene attracts foodies from all over the globe, undoubtedly helped by the popularity of K-dramas and movies which frequently showcase unique gourmet experiences. On Jeju Island, savor fresh seafood and melt-in-your-mouth heukdwaeji (black pork) sizzling on a traditional Korean BBQ grill. Adventurous eaters will enjoy ganjang gejang (raw crab marinated in soy sauce) - a dish guaranteed to spark conversation (and maybe a little sweat!) in coastal cities like Incheon. For comforting soul food, visit Gangneung for some chodang sundubu (hot soup with soft tofu). Traditional markets, such as Gwangjang Market in Seoul, are a great place for street food like tteokbokki (spicy ricecakes) and bindaetteok (savory pancakes). 2. Taiwan Taiwan is a culinary wonderland where ancient traditions and modern influences collide. Taipei's legendary night markets, like Shilin and Raohe, are a must-visit experience for any foodie. From the infamous stinky tofu to the global sensation of bubble tea. In Tainan, traditional dishes like danzai noodles and milkfish soup highlight the island's deep food heritage. Taiwan also offers a unique tea culture, with Alishan's oolong tea holding a place in every tea lover's heart. 3. Thailand Thailand is a food lover's paradise, offering a street food culture that is hard to match. The traditional food stalls of Yaowarat, known as Chinatown in Bangkok, are where dishes like crispy pork belly, pad thai, crispy oyster omelets, and mango sticky rice aren't just among the most delicious meals but also the most affordable. In the north of Thailand, the rich and creamy Khao Soy in Chiang Mai is a must-try, while in the south it's the lesser-known Khanom Jeen, a fermented rice noodle dish served with a variety of spicy curries, that's becoming a favorite among foodies. 4. Japan Japan is a dream destination for food enthusiasts, offering everything from izakaya bar bites to kaiseki full course experiences. In Tokyo, head to Tsukiji Outer Market for fresh sushi and sashimi or explore local delights like takoyaki (octopus balls) and yakitori (grilled chicken skewers) in popular areas like Shinjuku and Ginza. Seafood lovers should visit Otaru in Hokkaido to enjoy famous crabs, uni (sea urchin), and fresh seafood donburi. For ramen aficionados, Tenjin in Fukuoka is the place to try tonkotsu ramen, the area's famous bowl featuring rich pork broth. 5. Malaysia A melting pot of flavors, Malaysia's cuisine is a reflection of its multicultural heritage. In Kuala Lumpur, Nasi Lemak comes in various forms, from Nasi Lemak Bungkus (wrapped rice with coconut milk, sambal, and various toppings) to Nasi Lemak Ayam Goreng Berempah (spicy chicken). The Penang region delights visitors with street food classics like Char Kway Teow (a stir-fried rice noodle), Hokkien Mee (a savory noodle soup), and Cendol (shaved ice dessert). In East Malaysia, Kota Kinabalu features fresh local dishes like Hinava (raw fish salad) and Tuaran Mee. Kuching is known for Manok Pansoh, a traditional Iban dish of chicken cooked in bamboo with herbs. Agoda makes it easy to turn your food dreams into reality with access to over 4.5 million holiday properties, 130,000 flight routes, and 300,000 activities.
