GreenFest by Hysan Inaugural Festival: Rethink our Food! November 10th & 11th, Hysan Place
Hysan Development Co. Ltd. is pleased to announce that Hong Kong’s very first sustainability festival for youth - GreenFest - will take place this coming November with the aim of leading our youths to take action towards a more sustainable food future.
Together with award-winning urban farming pioneer Rooftop Republic, the GreenFest - “Rethink Our Food” Festival is targeted at secondary school students to empower them to become the food pioneers of tomorrow!
The first of its kind, the GreenFest brings together thought-leaders and changemakers who are already transforming our food’s future, and the young minds of tomorrow to explore the most pressing food issues that our world is facing now.
Through a series of interactive workshops, demonstrations and talks, students will investigate issues surrounding our current food systems; design solutions and innovations to (re)connect with our food and define the value, role, and place of healthy and sustainable food in tomorrow’s urban societies.

To kick start the festival we are delighted to present keynote speakers David Yeung of Green Monday and Peggy Chan - Chef and founder of Grassroots Pantry, both key players in Hong Kong’s food scene and inspiring educators and advocates of sustainability.
Students between the ages of 15 -17 are invited to join one of the weekend festival’s days and sign up to three breakout workshops on the topics of “Grow”, “Eat” and “Dispose”.
A delicious lunch will be provided courtesy of the Landmark Mandarin Oriental, who will be partnering with Impossible Foods, and we’ll have tasty snacks and beverages from OATLY.
