Food, with its close association with culture, is something we all have in common, breaking down barriers and bringing us all together.
Tackling the climate crisis through our food system and culture
In the workshop, participants will engage in discourse about migrant food culture, while learning about the food system through the lens of diverse Chinese food. This includes exploring different low carbon ingredients, cooking techniques and food sources that, in combination, still retain the core essence of authentic Chinese food culture.
