Summary
「另類經濟的雛形試驗:朝向生態再生的城市」
"PROTOTYPING ECONOMIES FOR THE ECOLOGICALLY REGENERATIVE CITY"
In spring , PolyU Design researchers Markus WERNLI and Kam-Fai CHAN
launched the Soil Trust (泥玩) initiative together with permaculturist Shing Wai NG at Hong Miu Farm 康苗有機農場 for tangibly exploring eco-social agriculture and organic resource recovery in Hong Kong. Soil Trust collaborates with TinYeah(田嘢)food localisation platform whose member families upcycle their food scraps and assist in farm tasks to regenerate local soils and highgrade produce. Applying underutilised resources, age-old fermentation wisdom, and social inventiveness combined with no-till regenerative farming, local soils, crops, urban/rural connectivity and biodiversity are strengthened. Two years into this partnership the resulting documentary lm by Joshua WOLPER and
roundtable discussion engage the public with open questions.
