Aurea sharing her journey in Foodlink Foundation

The talk featured Aurea Yung, Head of Operations at the Foodlink Foundation, who shared insights on addressing food waste and promoting sustainability. The talk highlighted the environmental burden of food overproduction and the food insecurity faced by over 1.6 million people in Hong Kong.

By rescuing surplus food and converting it into meals for those in need, the Foodlink Foundation not only reduces food waste but also addresses the food insecurity prevalent in Hong Kong. The talk prompted attendees to reflect on their own behaviors and consumption patterns, leading to increased awareness of the consequences of food waste and the importance of sustainable practices. They realized the power of their individual actions in contributing to a more equitable and compassionate society.
