"I am Agnes, a landscape architecture graduate driven by resilient urban design. My work, including the “HK30% Food City” project, explores how Hong Kong can achieve self-sufficiency by embedding food production into our urban fabric. I believe landscape architecture is the essential bridge between ecological functionality and social wellbeing. Rather than treating space as a static backdrop, I design dynamic, productive systems that respond to climate instability and demographic shifts. By merging ecological principles with smart, automated technology, I aim to weave agriculture into the domestic environment. My goal is to create human-centric spaces that empower residents to reconnect with the land, ensuring our community remains sustainable, nourished, and resilient in an evolving world."
HK30% Food City is a pioneering urban prototype in the Northern Metropolis, addressing Hong Kong’s 90% dependence on food imports. Covering 206 hectares in Heung Yuen Wai, the project integrates 20,000 vertical farming towers and 3D-printed food labs into a dense, walkable urban fabric. By embedding production within housing—ranging from farmhouses to high-rise blocks—it empowers 11,400 residents to act as both consumers and producers. This closed-loop ecosystem, fueled by organic waste recycling, achieves 100% community self-sufficiency. HK30% Food City proves that high-density development and sustainable agriculture can coexist, offering a replicable, resilient model for Hong Kong’s future food security.
「食托邦 | 香港未來30%糧食計劃」:
「食托邦」是位於北部都會區的一項開創性城市原型設計，旨在解決香港糧食九成以上依賴進口的結構性脆弱，並致力於將全港的糧食自給率提升到30%，同時反對犧牲珍貴的農地用以新市鎮開發。本項目佔地 206 公頃，選址香園圍，透過將「農業嵌入城市肌理」，重新定義高密度城市生活，以證明都市發展與環境保育無需對立。
項目整合 20,000 座垂直農耕塔、3D 列印食品實驗室及低碳畜牧設施，賦予 11,400 名居民雙重身份，令他們同時成為糧食消費者與積極生產者。住宅規劃採用漸進式密度設計，從森林邊緣的低密度農舍到核心區的垂直建築，全面與生產性綠地交織。該封閉循環生態系統將廚餘轉化為有機肥料回饋耕作，每年生產 4,800 噸農產品，實現社區 100% 自給自足。「食托邦」不僅實證了高密度建設與永續農業的和諧共存，更為香港糧食安全開創了具備高度複製性與韌性的發展典範，為未來的城市發展指明了永續方向。
