Hey, My Food Basket Is Shrinking!

Malaysians' access to nutritional food is getting tighter due to food price inflation. Coupled with shrinking agricultural land and a smaller farming community, the country's food security is at risk. We speak to Deepak S. Moorthy, Expert Associate Partner, Head of Food and Agriculture, McKinsey Southeast Asia on how Malaysia can expand its food production to feed its population.
