About Us
A Grain's Wish
Rice doesn't miraculously come from exotic countries like Thailand or Japan, nor does it grow on supermarket shelves; rice is grown from the land.
White rice, red rice, brown rice, and glutinous rice are products of an arduous and labor-intensive process. From sowing, to watering and fertilisation, to weeding and pest control, farmers dedicate an unthinkable amount of time and energy to put food on our tables. Only after the complicated processes of separating the husk from the spikelet, and then grain from the husk, can a bowl of rice finally reach us at a restaurant or at home. After going through so much, the only wish of a grain of rice is for people to empty their bowls and to not waste food.
Let's show our appreciation to the farmers who feed and nourish our bodies. Please visit our Foodstep Journey experience centre to learn how much work it takes to grow rice.
Foodstep Journey
Foodstep Journey is the first experience centre in Hong Kong that advocates the virtue of cherishing food and caring for the community. During the journey, participants will be introduced to interesting facts about‘Food Smart’, as well as issues of food wastage and elderly poverty in Hong Kong.
Hong Kong produces 3,600 tonnes of food waste every day, 2/3 of which is generated in households. This amounts to 0.33 kg of food waste per person per day. At our centre, participants will become Rice Warriors and will challenge themselves to reduce their individual wastage. Through interactive games, virtual reality films and other activities, Rice Warriors will experience what‘No Pain, No Grain’really means and reflect on their responsibilities.
In addition to statistics related to food consumption in HK, Foodstep Journey also showcases the dire living conditions of Hong Kong's elderly population and how they struggle to make ends meet.
It is our hope that participants will be more conscious of the less glamorous issues plaguing our dazzling city, and we hope this experience will ignite in them compassion.
Let's practice‘Waste Not . Hunger Not . With Love’together!
