Rice Incubation to Consumption Education Programme (RICE)

Do you know where rice, our daily main staple, comes from?

Neither from our kitchen nor supermarkets, it comes from farmers' hard toil!

Our programme features "RICE" and helps schools establish "Low-Carbon Rice Fields" so that students can take part in a 120-day rice growing escapade from growing seedlings, transplanting, caring, harvesting to milling. This is a rare opportunity for townies to experience hard toil in food production. Once the students start to connect the dots, they will learn the importance of "Food Saving" as reduction in food waste leads to "Carbon Reduction".

The new pilot programme will also enable us to reduce carbon at the source of food (crop production) by trying out low-carbon rice growing with participating schools.

As part of the celebration for World Food Day, we invite all students across the city to join a "21-day Food Saving Carbon Reduction Challenge", an activity to encourage reducing food waste on the dinner table and adopting a low carbon lifestyle.
