RETHINK OUR FOOD

The GreenFest by Hysan is an annual event to engage and inspire our new generations to take positive action towards a more sustainable future. The event brings together young people and top change-makers from across Hong Kong to immerse themselves on a different sustainability-related topic each year.

On it’s first edition, GreenFest will be themed around rethinking our food.

ABOUT GREENFEST

By 2050 we will have 9 billion people on Earth, three quarters of whom will live in cities. To feed all these mouths ‘business-as-usual’ is no longer an option. We will need to fundamentally reconsider the way we grow, consume and even think about our food to ensure a secure and healthy future for all people and the entire planet.

This two-day immersive and hands-on experience will bring together high-school students from across Hong Kong to explore the future of food.

Through a series of workshops, demonstrations and talks, youth will dig into the issues surrounding our food system while exploring solutions and innovations to (re)connect with food and define the value, role and place of healthy and sustainable food in tomorrow’s urban societies.

Our goal is to inspire youth

in shaping the next generation’s

food revolution.

MOVIE SCREENING

16

To continue the conversation around rethinking our food, a movie screening on Saturday evening (10 Nov) will expose the impact of food waste worldwide, while showing simple changes we can all make to eat more and waste less. The screening will be open to the general public.

WASTED!WASTED! THE STORY OF FOOD WASTE aims to change the way people buy, cook, recycle, and eat food.

Through the the eyes of chef-heroes like Bourdain, Dan Barber, Mario Batali, Massimo Bottura, and Danny Bowien, audiences will see how the world’s most influential chefs make the most of every kind of food, transforming what most people consider scraps into incredible dishes that create a more secure food system.

WASTED! exposes the criminality of food waste and how it’s directly contributing to climate change and shows us how each of us can make small changes – all of them delicious – to solve one of the greatest problems of the 21st Century
