| Summary 內容: | 人與大自然的關係密切，可惜城市人生活忙碌，一切但求方便快捷，例如甚少購買新鮮食材親自下廚，以致五穀不分，也就失去對四時變化的觸覺。學習永續種植不但可以重建與自然的聯繫，更會了解我們的消費模式如何影響日常生活的碳足印。善用空間，城市人也能夠品嚐自己親手栽種的有機蔬菜。 香港大學天台農莊自2013年成立以來，為師生提供有機栽培課程及種植空間，讓大家在校園內享受種植的樂趣。參加此工作坊的學生及職員將獲分配種植箱，在課程期間作為學習之用，完成課程後亦可加入義工隊，參與農莊的日常運作。 We city people live so remote from nature that we forget our inseparable bond with nature. We live our hectic lives with too much focus on convenience, forgetting how our food is sourced and losing track of the seasons. Sustainable farming reconnects us and helps us learn to from nature. It also reminds us of how our consumerist behaviour affects the environment. Creative use of urban space allows city people to enjoy the bliss of growing our own food and eating organic, fresh produce. Established in 2013, the HKU Rooftop Farm provides organic farming workshops and farming space for staff and students to spread the joy of growing our own food. Workshop participants will be allocated a planter to apply the skills learned and they can also join our farming team and to help out with daily tasks in the farm’s communal area.
