Permaculture (永續栽培) is a sustainable development concept of merging local food production (agriculture) and wisdom (culture). Everyone can grow their own food and share the food made with traditional recipes.
Co-organised by O-Farm & Permaculture Institute (HK) Limited, the workshops on Farm-to-Table cover a range of topics including permaculture gardening, concept of using food from farm to table, preparing seasonal recipes with special local vegetables, traditional food preservation methods and coffee making.
