“The Hong Kong Food Hackathon aims to disrupt the food system.. to move us into a place where we can grow, distribute and consume food in a way that’s healthier for us as individuals, as a society and for the planet” . (Susan Evans South China Morning Post Magazine 8th September 2019. P8)

This year, in 2019, The Hong Kong Food Hackathon took place over the weekend of 20-22nd September 2019. An Intensive, fun and creative weekend to tackle, and develop solutions to address one of our most pressing issues of our time the food system. At this time global leaders were being called into action to combat climate change. The world is being brought to account by young people who took to the streets. With demonstrations, activities and rally’s happening across the globe. Here in Hong Kong – The Hong Kong food hackathon 2019 – proposed alternative ways to tackle climate change, through re-imagining our food and the ingredients used to create new foods, in such a way that we might start to change both the impact driving climate change and lead to healthier individuals, society and environments. “Diets inextricably link human health and environmental sustainability.” Lancet commission report (2019).

「香港食物駭客馬拉松旨在破壞食品系統......將我們帶到一個能夠以個人為單位,可以種植、分發及消費的地方,為我們的社會及星球帶來更健康的影響。」摘自《南華早報》雜誌 2019年9月8日第8 頁,蘇珊 · 伊凡斯的文章。

香港食品駭客馬拉松於本年度9月20至22日的周末舉行;這是一個密集、有趣而具豐富創造力的活動,旨在開發方案去解決我們這個時代所面對最緊迫的食品系統問題。現時全球的領導人都被要求在氣候變化這嚴峻問題下採取相應行動,而年輕一代則在世界各地走上街頭通過集會、遊行等示威行動去抗爭發聲。我們在香港舉行了2019年香港食品駭客馬拉松,銳意提出不同的方案去應對氣候變化的問題,透過重新想像我們的食物以及製造新食品的原始素材,我們可能可以同時改變對氣候的影響、擁有更健康的身體社會與環境。「飲食將人類健康與環境可持續性地緊密連結在一起。」摘自《刺胳針》委員會2019年年報。

參加者說了什麼?

參加者說:「食品駭客馬拉松實在太有趣了...... 嘗試探索更多以植物為本的食物概念。」

「在參與這活動以前,我永遠無法相信能夠在一個周末可以完成這一切......」

「密集!好玩!」
