Agricultural activities in Asia Pacific region generate significant amounts of manure from various farming operations, including: Layer Hens: A layer hen produces approximately 0.08–0.12 kg of manure per day. Cattle Farming: Dairy and beef cattle generate an average of 30 kg of manure per day per animal. Pig Farms: Pigs produce about 2–4 kg of manure per day. Manure accumulation presents several environmental and operational challenges such as odour pollution, water contamination, greenhouse gas emissions and pathogen proliferation. Despite these challenges, manure has significant potential when processed effectively. It can be converted into valuable resources such as: Biogas & Bioenergy Biochar & Carbon Sequestration Organic Fertilizers and Soil Conditioners Farms have found solutions that produce good quality fertilisers and soil conditioners with their manure. However the amount of manure generated is more than what they can use and would like to work with innovation technologies to manage and convert their farm's manure efficiently. 

According to the Health Promotion Board (HPB) in Singapore, 90% of Singapore residents' consumption of sodium exceeds the daily recommended intake, with the average consumption at 3620 mg, nearly double of the recommended 2000 mg per day. As a result, one in six Singapore residents report health problems like hypertension and hypolipidaemia. In an effort to curb this, HPB launched the "Less Salt, More Taste" campaign in 2024 to encourage the food manufacturing and food service industry to change their recipes and add less salt and sauces, or switch to use lower-sodium alternatives for salt, sauces and seasonings. Manufacturers are also encouraged to increase the supply of lower-sodium ingredients for the food service sector. Consumers are also encouraged to choose low sodium options, or use less salt in their home cooking. This sodium reduction strategy aims to reduce Singaporeans’ sodium intake by 15% by 2026.
