The collaboration between In Time Of and DBS Hong Kong is a realization of their commitments to promoting the concept of zero food waste. With cultivating a food resilient future as the focus of In Time Of’s Programmes this year, a series of activities have been kicked off. Closely working with the farming industry, food industry and local creative forces, issues such as the development of local farming, sustaining the food chain and preserving local food culture have been explored.
Whereas DBS, committing to pushing #TowardsZeroFoodWaste and building a more sustainable future, has been combining forces from the communities, partners, staff and the public to take part in reducing food waste. In 2021, DBS Group successfully saved more than 600,000 kg of food across Asia through food waste reduction and recycling, as well as food donation and redistribution to reduce carbon emissions and address climate change.
