HOW IT WORKS

Campus Food For Good — How It Works

The programme serves some 150 kindergartens, primary, secondary, and special schools across Hong Kong. Any school with a lunch service can take part. Food For Good lends each partner school a full equipment kit and dispatches farmers and instructors to guide teachers and students on site, so students can complete the five-stage cycle from lunch waste to compost to a vegetable harvest they bring home to share with their families.

The Cycle · Five Stages

  1. Collect

    Students gather cafeteria food waste into designated buckets after each meal service.

  2. Sort

    Inedible scraps are separated from liquids, packaging, and contaminants before processing.

  3. Compost

    The electric composter converts sorted waste into mature organic compost within hours.

  4. Cultivate

    Compost feeds mobile planter boxes set up across the school garden and grounds.

  5. Harvest

    Students harvest vegetables they helped grow — and the scraps return to step one.

A closed loop — waste becomes the input for the next harvest

Reducing food waste is a habit best formed young — so we built a programme where students run the cycle themselves.
