Wouter Vos and Henk van Eijk, two experts of Urban Farming partners, explored the urban farming potential in Hong Kong during a two-day visit.
A visit was paid to the Vegetable Marketing Organisation’s Controlled Environment Hydroponic Research & Development Center and the hi-tech vertical vegetable Farm66. The experts also discussed the opportunities and challenges with Annemieke Ruigrok, the Consul General of the Netherlands in Hong Kong, during a dinner.
Next to exploring the opportunities of urban farming in this megacity, this fact finding mission had the aim to prepare the urban farming seminar in Hong Kong which will take place later this year. If interested or having ideas with reference to this seminar please contact: Mirjam Boekestijn – Coordinator Urban Farming Partners, mirjamboekestijn@kenlog.nl
