Future Green 5 Must Reads

Hey there sustainable food advocates – we’re back! After a month away to recharge, reflect, and yes… sharpen our facilitation chops, the Future Green team is fired up. My Palo Alto training pushed me to lead tougher conversations, tackle greenwash head-on, and guide you from “lofty goals” to on-the-ground change. We’re kicking off with this month’s Members Monthly Meetup on cutting food loss and waste: smarter kitchens, less waste, more action.

Sustainability’s not a spectator sport — here’s what’s worth your attention this week:

🌱 From fermentation to future-proofing – FERM shows why craft + carbon consciousness is a winning recipe.
🧠 Facilitation: the secret weapon – Smarter, sharper sessions that move food sustainability projects forward (and stop them stalling).
🌾 Crop yields on the climate clock – The hard numbers on what’s at stake for our food supply.
🏨 Hotels ditch waste, not wow-factor – Scope 3 cuts that keep guests smiling.
🥗 The Food Vision you need yesterday – Turn fuzzy sustainability talk into the strategy that wins (and keeps) contracts.

MEMBER PODCAST: FERM

Tempeh, reimagined. FERM fuses bold innovation, real impact, and farmer power — proving plant-based can scale big, win hearts, and still smash sustainability goals.

FACILITATION TRAINING – LESSONS FROM PALO ALTO

We’ve ditched meandering chats for laser-focused sessions that surface hard truths, build rapid consensus, and turn sustainability talk into actionable plans people actually deliver.

CLIMATE CHANGE & CROP YIELDS – THE WAKE-UP CALL

Our World in Data’s analysis is crystal clear: rising temps will hit staple crops hard. If you’re in foodservice or retail, mitigation starts now — or risk disrupted menus and soaring costs.

HOTEL CARBON CUTS THAT DON’T KILL COMFORT

Klimato shows hotels how to trim tonnes off their footprint without touching the luxury guests expect. Spoiler: it’s in the supply chain.

NEW COURSE! FOOD VISION PROGRAMME – STOP BLEEDING BUSINESS

Losing tenders over “weak sustainability” is avoidable. In just eight weeks, we turn vague goals into a competitive plan—plus a six-month follow-up. Join our free online training on 17 September 2025 to learn more.


🌍 Members Monthly Meetup: Reduce Food Loss & Waste

Food waste isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s lost profit. Join us on 9 Sept, 4–5PM HKT as Agnes Lee, GM of Yindii Hong Kong, shares how food businesses are transforming surplus into revenue while driving sustainability.

✅ Members: Calendar invites have already been sent—please accept if you can make it!

Future Green 5 Must Reads Hey there sustainable food advocates – the food sector has commercial and sustainability-linked reasons for relearning knowledge on local edible plants, and recipes tied to them. That’s why having wild-food foraging expert Wanda Huang at our June Members Monthly Meetup was such a fantastic resource, and such a great opportunity for us to learn from her, and to spread her know-how. Remember though, if you’re HK-based, it can be challenging to harvest truly wild...
