Hoyyee and Pop, friends from Penang, are the founders of Pop & Chee Healthy Home Farm, Grow Community Market, and Project M.A.R.S. (Mitigation, Adaptation, Resilience, Space). For the past ten years, they have been actively promoting sustainable development in Penang. In 2021, they launched Project M.A.R.S., a volunteer-driven climate action initiative that transformed an abandoned palm oil plantation into a thriving food forest. This project champions sustainability and biodiversity, with over 170 varieties of edible plants cultivated — emphasizing seed diversity and climate resilience. Join Hoyyee as she shares her inspiring journey as a food forest pioneer in Malaysia, offering insights into climate change, activism, and community building. This marks their second visit to Hong Kong this year, invited by Earth Farm HK to help plant an experimental food forest in Yuen Long. |
