G101 Critical Thinking and Problem Solving

Provide a brief overview of what is the problem, why it should be taken seriously, and what are the key solutions that this proposal hopes the party reading it will adopt.

1. Problems/Issues

Analyse the problems s using systems thinking by:

(i) What are the root causes of food insecurity for the disadvantaged in Singapore? What are the factors that are compounding the problems? Are these factors inter-related? If so, how are they connected?)

(ii) What is/are your target group of food insecure individuals/households? Who are the stakeholders involved in the problem? (Note: How are these stakeholders related?)

(iii) Have the problems been addressed before? If so, what are the possible reasons for not being able to resolve these problems?

(iv) What is/are the impact(s) of the problem to the various stakeholders in the system?  Are there any long term problems?
