Bring food waste
into the classroom

We start with a single fruit peel and end up talking about soil, climate and community. Our workshops suit schools, NGOs and companies — one-off or long-term, in the classroom or out on the farm.

Winner, Spirit of Sustainability Award, Spirit of Hong Kong Awards 2023. Organised by the SCMP, presented by Ocean Park Hong Kong.
