Excerpt

So much or so little have happened since HomelandGreen’s participation of EU Green Week in 2021.   What a contradictory opening!  Well, Hong Kong was very much affected by Covid-19.  Schools suspended; movement limited.  We adapted ourselves to video meetings and discussions.   During this period of social distancing, HomelandGreen strived to continue providing information to the interested parties via online talks and posting, to promote regenerative farming and soil health.  We got connected with Zero Foodprint Asia (ZFPA) and explored collaboration opportunities in Hong Kong and the Greater Bay Area.  Now that we resume normal activities, we quickly got back into action.   So much to do with our limited network, yet it is nonetheless encouraging.


With ZFPA’s crowd funding (elaborate further below), farms pledge to adopt regenerative farming methods.  More farms seek our advice than we could handle (most of us are volunteers). There are some, especially younger, farmers who are more receptive to the scientific approach and the rest are getting interested as they see the results in our experimental farms.  Of course, there are recreational farmers/gardeners who are eager to learn.  HomelandGreen welcomes everyone.   One becomes a better farmer and a better consumer when one appreciates the magic of nature and up-to-date science findings in agriculture.
