Organic farming establishes a strong connection between its historical roots and its present-day practice. By exploring the history of organic farming, we can discern how current practices are deeply rooted in traditional and historical wisdom. In the upcoming seminar, Professor LEUNG will shed light on the intricate relationship between organic farming practices today and their historical origins, providing valuable insights into the continuity and evolution of organic farming techniques. Dr CHOW will share his hands-on experience in being an organic farmer in Hong Kong nowadays and compare his life with an organic farmer in history (meaning since 20th century). This forum is highly relevant to several Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular, SDG 2 (Zero Hunger), SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth), SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production). The forum will be conducted in Cantonese; all are welcome. Online Registration: |
