[Eat Fair Campaign] Pocket Kitchen Meal Design Challenge

Food insecurity remains a pressing global challenge. Climate change, unfair trade practices and unequal distribution of resources continue to make it harder for people living in poverty to access sufficient, healthy and nutritious food. While the world produces enough food to feed everyone, around one-third of all food produced is wasted, contributing to greenhouse gas emissions and affecting the livelihoods of billions of people.

In Hong Kong, many underprivileged groups face multiple challenges. Beyond financial hardship, some live in small or inadequately equipped homes, limiting their cooking options and food choices, which can in turn affect their nutrition and quality of life.

To raise students' awareness of food-related challenges faced by underprivileged groups and promote an 'Eat Fair' culture, Oxfam is launching the [Eat Fair Campaign] Pocket Kitchen Meal Design Challenge this academic year. The competition encourages students to step into real-life situations and use creativity and empathy to design nutritious and balanced lunch meals that meet the needs of different service targets. By working within limited space, cooking facilities and financial resources, participants are invited to explore practical solutions that respond to the realities faced by people living in poverty.

Objectives

Enhance students’ understanding of poverty, food insecurity and climate change, while nurturing empathy and understanding towards underprivileged groups.
Encourage students to develop creative and practical meal solutions within limited resources.
Promote an 'Eat Fair' culture and the spirit of being a 'Global Citizen'.
