About the organisation
HKFoodWorks is a registered charity dedicated to sustainable food futures, leading the way through research and community action for a better tomorrow. Breadline is our food rescue programme. Our web application connects volunteers to bakeries to collect food surpluses just-in-time for those who need it. It is Hong Kong’s first public digital platform for food rescue. We collaborate with community partners to serve those experiencing homelessness, low income, migrant and refugee families, the elderly and the intellectually disabled communities. We have been operating since 2020 and have by supported by over 3,000 volunteers to date.
Mission
HK Foodworks’ mission is to prevent food waste, therefore reducing hunger and improving the environment. We envision a world where all food is used to its true potential, whether by humans, animals or plants, and none of it is sent to landfill.

- War and Food Prices – the need for resilience
Hong Kong might not be at war, but we are certainly affected by it. The latest gulf war and the continued blockade of the Strait of Hormuz have a direct impact on the everyday lives of Hong Kongers. The post War and Food Prices – the need for resilience appeared first on HKFoodWorks.
- Does a city need its farmers?
City farmers in Hong Kong are a dying breed. There are less than 2500 local farm operators, producing less than 2% of the vegetables we eat and only around 7% of the poultry and pork we consume. The post Does a city need its farmers? appeared first on HKFoodWorks.
- The Academic Complaints Song
The academic complaints song is an experimental piece to salvage solidarity, liveliness and pleasure from work, and to redeem the politics of whining. The post The Academic Complaints Song appeared first on HKFoodWorks.
