HKU Holistic Urban Farming - Workshop in the Community
 
To further extend the positive impacts of urban farming to the community against the adverse challenges brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, CEDARS-GE have been collaborating with the Caritas Mok Cheung Sui Kun Community Centre at Kennedy Town to organise farming workshops for the public, especially the needy communities in the neighbourhood. The workshop aims to empower the participants with basic organic farming and food processing skills. And during the workshop, additional learning elements such as wellbeing awareness will be included.
