The Hong Kong Government has been investing in sustainable and modernized fish farming through the Sustainable Fisheries Development Fund (SFDF) since 2014, with a budget of HKD 500 million to help the local fisheries and agriculture industries adapt to new challenges.
PolyU is running a project on promoting modernised and sustainable mariculture at the demonstration farm, which provides hands-on training and lectures to help the local trade to develop modernized and sustainable mariculture practices.
Recently, Mr. John Kwok, a PhD student from the Department of Food Science and Nutrition (FSN), and three students of the project were interviewed on the HKTKWW podcast. They shared their incredible experience building a sustainable farming and fishing business, and how our project helped them achieve their goals. We're delighted to see our efforts making a positive impact on Hong Kong's fisheries and agriculture industries.
