I‧CARE Market Fair was held on campus from 4 to 5 October. Over 10 local businesses, including organic farms, handicraft workshops and women’s cooperative stores parked themselves on CUHK campus for two days to promote sustainable farming and fair trade. At the opening ceremony, Prof. Joseph J.Y. Sung, Vice-Chancellor of CUHK, ate a low-carbon lunch prepared from food waste with Ms. Leila Chan, author of Food Waste. Staff and students joined the gathering and discussed global food shortage, food waste problem in Hong Kong, and the University’s ideals in collaborating with social enterprises.
