DTUP｜Stepping Outside the Classroom! Discovering the Flavors of Local Produce at Central Farmers' Market 🥦✨

20 Sep 2026

On 20 September, our group of Global Challenges II students visited the Central Farmers' Market organized by Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG)! 🌱

The main objective of this trip was to help students gain a deeper understanding of the real-world challenges local farmers face. We interviewed various farmers to learn about their farming journeys and dedication, while also engaging with consumers and key stakeholders to understand their views, support, and firsthand perspectives on local produce.

A highlight of the visit was trying fresh, ready-to-eat passion fruit and okra on the spot! Experiencing the natural sweetness of local produce completely refreshed our appreciation for daily greens. 😋🔥

Moving forward, students will apply the knowledge gained from this field experience to design transdisciplinary solutions, aiming to contribute meaningfully to the future of local organic farming! 💪💡

This trip not only enriched our understanding of Hong Kong's agricultural ecosystem and distribution channels but also inspired us to give our full support to local produce! Let’s support Hong Kong Local Farming! 💚

DTUP｜Step out of the classroom! Head to Mui Wo to learn about local agriculture 🌱🥬

19 Sep 2026

Last Saturday (19/9), our Global Challenges II students visited Good Old Soil in Mui Wo to learn about local agriculture.

Step outside the classroom! Our Global Challenges II students visited Good Oil Soil in Mui Wo to explore local agriculture. A former apprentice introduced the organisation’s mission: partnering with local farmers to promote and sell produce and running an apprenticeship that brings young people into the fields.

As we walked through the community, we learned about Mui Wo’s history and projects like the pineapple nutrition initiative at Ho’s Orchard. At a local farm, we heard a farmer’s journey from post retirement beginner to skilled grower of green skin winter melon and cabbage, and saw how much knowledge farming takes.

We also saw the farm’s close ties with Good Oil Soil and its rich biodiversity. At Good Oil Soil’s cosy shop-office, the team shared how they turn surplus into products—like wampee beer and cabbage dumplings—to reduce waste, and the challenges of marketing local produce.

Students asked thoughtful questions, deepened their understanding, and began considering transdisciplinary solutions. Supporting local agriculture means recognising farmers’ hard work—let’s keep backing Hong Kong’s local produce!
