Food Insecurity in Hong Kong

Think Hong Kong is all food paradise? Here’s a different reality: over 1.5 million people here

face food insecurity. That’s the stress of not affording nutritious food. For many,

after paying rent for a tiny flat, a daily food budget can be just HK$58. The choice becomes:

eat enough, or eat well? But solutions are here. Charities like Feeding

Hong Kong rescue surplus food from landfills. Community projects teach people to

turn food waste, like soy pulp, into healthy meals. The problem isn't a lack of food—it's

poverty and access. The fix is a mix of community ingenuity and smart support, ensuring good food

reaches people, not landfills.
