Is it best that our food is Local and Organic or Big and Conventional? Our view is “Both, and..” We don’t come to the table with a bias, except that good farming like good food comes in all shapes and sizes. Farm to Table Talk explores issues and the growing interest in the story of how and where the food on our tables is produced, processed and marketed.

The Alliance for Children Development Rights on Monday called for measures in the policy address to improve youth upward mobility and address intergenerational poverty. From August to September, the alliance polled 114 young people aged 12 to 24, with nearly 70 percent coming from families earning less than HK$20,000 a month.

The survey found that around 70 percent of youngsters had little confidence in escaping poverty soon. Wong Man-ling from the alliance urged the government to further improve the one-year mentorship scheme. "So I guess the policy has its limitations because the programme only lasts for one year...

"For example, when graduates join the alumni group, will there just be events? Or will there be ways to keep helping these low-income young people with government resources?" Jayden, an 18-year-old university student from a single-parent family, said he hopes the government will provide more support for young people to pursue their dreams. "I think the current government policies don't help us move up in society enough. They [officials] invest relatively little money for people with dreams," he said. "The government could start a child development account to help young people save money for future businesses. They should also streamline the application process for self-financed degree programmes," he said.
