Why does Singapore, a land scarce, urban and non-agricultural nation, wish to compete in a crowded, regional rice industry in which it has little to no comparative advantage? Secondly, how does growing rice overseas as a way to improve Singapore’s food security and population health, impact the security and health of Indonesian farming communities, and the environment they live in? I hope to elucidate how bioscientific innovation linked to broader concerns such as health, food security, the environment, and climate, shape the political economy of agriculture and social inequalities in Southeast Asia.
