Food Citizen Pte Ltd is a Singapore-based educational venture that empowers schools and communities to step forward as Earth Stewards through food and ecosystem education.


Guided by the permaculture ethics of Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share, we inspire individuals to reconnect with nature, make informed food choices, and take regenerative action for a healthier planet.

Our trainers are sustainability practitioners who freelance with us. Our content is grounded in science and enriched by real-world experience, making sustainability both actionable and relatable.

Who we design our workshops for

Individuals who want to connect with nature and our local food system, so that you can make informed choices and action that help co-create a healthier planet

More than a consumer, you

  • care about environmental and social issues

  • want to connect the dots of what you have been learning

  • want to support fair, regenerative, and local practices

  • want to take meaningful and impactful actions with the communities you are part of

What customers said

Living Systems

I loved that we were not only guided on the how-to’s, but we were also taught the science behind it which I found both intriguing and informative. The information that’s shared is what most content that I came across lacked, and (our trainer) Cuifen delivered it in such an engaging and digestible way, you’ll just get it. Her perspective on soil health would also help you understand climate issues, nutrition, and nature’s health much more holistically - you’ll see that everything is connected.

 

Jocelyn Cai

Community Composting

"Oh wow, that was so inspiring! Thanks for sharing this story with us, it definitely helped us understand more on how community composting can really change the choices we make and slowly improve the climate crisis, rather than thinking that there is no hope in the future."

 

SS, high school student

Food Experiences

 

"I loved that many of the ingredients were locally harvested, foraged or rescued. This is a wonderful way to connect people with what is locally available and to unique flavours, the experience helps to open one's mind to new possibilities, demonstrating that these types of ingredients are not lesser than, but pull their own weight. I would love to see more pairings like this, different iterations of local herbs, edible flowers, foraged food, medicinal plants, rescued food."

 

Olivia Chong, The Tender Gardener

Connections between Food & Soil

"The workshop is fun and informative! Chingwei (our trainer) shared lots of detailed information that we have never noticed even though we have been seeing it everyday. She is also full of knowledge about soil and compost. She patiently answered all our questions about it."

 

HY, preschool teacher

​​Nature-based Gardening

 

"I have really enjoyed the evenings following both workshops (delivered by natural farmer Tang Hung Bun). I think being in the presence of such much enthusiasm and dedication during the workshop really rubs off, re-energising me in the process."

 

David Taylor, lecturer

Our social impact

Our customers mainly are educators, schools, corporates, or private individuals interested in taking meaningful climate or social action.

Our trainers are practitioners who freelance with us. They may be a mid-career individual in life transition, or a stay-home mum. We provide training, and curate meaningful job opportunities that fairly compensates for the practitioner's time, knowledge, and contribution. This allows our trainers to have the flexibility to focus on other priorities, which may include community projects or caring for their families.
