Good Old Soil, a community organisation in Hong Kong, connects farmers, young people, and businesses on Lantau Island to create an economy that will continue after funding ends.
The group, founded in 2022 and a finalist for the Spirit of Hong Kong Awards, opened a shop in Mui Wo to support local food production, crafts, and small businesses. Good Old Soil differs from many rural projects in Hong Kong by focusing on long-term sustainability rather than relying on temporary grants.
The Land Education Foundation supports the organisation’s efforts to build a self-sufficient rural economy through activities like farm-to-table experiences and apprenticeships.
