UNIfy: Sustainable Living # NewNormal Edition   - Food and Sustainability from the Lens of Hong Kong Food Production  

The pandemic has severely disrupted our daily routines, but it has also given us an opportunity to reflect on the essentials of life, which we often take for granted, one of which is food.  Where does our food come from? How is it produced?  Do we have reliable food supplies? This forum helps us get in touch with nature by looking at two farming projects in rural Hong Kong – the “Sustainable Lai Chi Wo Programme” and “Gift from Land” in Tai Po Lam Tsuen – to rediscover the value of local agriculture, examine the potential of food production in Hong Kong, and explore the relationship between sustainable development and communities.

The pandemic and the new normal have inspired new ways of living and reflection about the relationship between people and nature.

Pivoting on the notion of living sustainably in the new normal situation, the joint university sustainability campaign ‘UNIfy’ is back this March with a series of themed online experiences and events: Mind Body Soul , channelling your inner self through meditation and exercises; Environmental Psychology , deciphering our daily decision-making and behaviour; Agriculture, connecting with our local farmers and telling stories of the land, city and food; and Waste Reduction, exploring the possibilities of recycling with smart features.  Find out more at http://www.hkscc.edu.hk/activities/JUC2021
