Hong Kong is a gourmet paradise, with many people choosing to dine out regularly. Food-related businesses now account for one of Link's largest tenant groups. We therefore introduced "Take Eat Seriously" as the Lab’s first thematic exhibition, exploring the connection between the modern food system and people’s daily lives through fun and interactive experiences, in addition to a permanent exhibition to showcase Link's sustainability initiatives.
With a new theme in the Lab, we are delighted to continue this learning journey on food sustainability online, extending its accessibility to inspire and educate our local community towards a more sustainable future.

Ever wondered if some of our beloved foods might vanish from our plates? The lab's focus on the sustainability of our food system prompts us to consider the potential extinction of certain food sources as a consequence of climate change. Click the following images to learn about those vulnerable foods and discover ways to ensure their presence in our kitchens for generations to come.
During the Lab Premiere, Link presented “Sustainable Omakase” for exclusive guests on a culinary journey to inspire their critical thinking about food choices and promote a sustainable food system. Watch this video to look behind the scenes of this five-course meal, where each dish tells a unique story about our food system.
The last stop of the Lab was “Rice Boy Station”, the first single stop providing retail, donation and food support services to help alleviate food waste problems in Hong Kong. Here, donated dried food was available for Food Angel's food support service users to choose and redeem items according to their preferences. It also showcased sustainable products, including the popular "Rice Boy products", locally-grown dry food, eco-friendly cleaning supplies, and unique handicrafts by local artisans. All net proceeds supported Food Angel's food recycling and assistance programmes.
