The Perennial Plate travels to Beijing and Hong Kong to get a glimpse at what China is doing in its dense urban environments to bring farming back to city life. Rooftop farms are becoming a thing here. Another one that I know of in Hong Kong is HK FARM.
These two girls are so adorable. Seriously.
Jason Ring from Dark Rye on Vimeo. With limited funds, Jason Ring bought 100 meat chickens and 50 laying hens to start a local community microfarm which has helped his family wean off processed foods. A pretty remarkable story of how a few chickens can change a person’s life.
The Farmer and The Bluefin from The Perennial Plate on Vimeo. Definitely not for the faint of heart (some scenes are pretty graphic), but if you’re curious at all about how bluefin tuna are now raised in farms in Japan, this is the video to watch. The fish are a lot bigger than I expected.
CoSPACE CoCREATE | HK Farm: Community from Thomas Lee on Vimeo. Watch this and see how a group of young transplant creatives are being inspired by the food, people, and community in Hong Kong and in turn are starting a rooftop farm initiative to benefit their city.
