Empowering Youth on Sustainable Living at Harvest Above

In line with our commitment to empowering youth and enriching communities, Henderson Land organised a series of immersive urban farming experiences with various youth groups at our “Harvest Above” organic farm located at H Zentre.

Together with the HKSAR Government’s Strive and Rise Programme, we organised an urban farming experience at “Harvest Above” at H Zentre, where Mr Chan Kwokki, Chief Secretary for Administration of the HKSAR Government, and Mr Augustine Wong, Executive Director at Henderson Land, were among those in attendance.

The event featured harvesting sessions introducing the principles of organic farming and showcasing a variety of superfoods grown at the farm to 100 programme mentees and mentors. Under the guidance of a professional chef, the participants had a chance to prepare a delectable salad using the freshly harvested produce for a true farm-to-table experience.

Additionally, in collaboration with the Immigration Department Youth Leaders Corps, students from Baptist Wing Lung Secondary School also visited “Harvest Above”. Participants had a chance to commune with nature as they learnt the fundamentals of organic farming, interacted with the farmer, and rolled up their sleeves to harvest the produce.

These experiences not only highlighted the nutritional value of superfoods but also underscored the increasing importance of sustainable living amidst today’s environmental challenges. By fostering awareness of eco-friendly practices, we hope to inspire these young participants to adopt greener lifestyle choices and embrace sustainability in their daily lives.
