Future Green 5 Must Reads

Hey there sustainable food advocates — January always brings a sense of possibility. A chance to reset routines, rethink habits, and decide what we want more (and less) in the year ahead.

Whether you’re fully embracing Veganuary or just experimenting with a few more plant-forward meals, nutrition can quickly feel overwhelming. I’ve been sharing this clear, evidence-based guide that focuses on balance, nourishment, and long-term health — not rules or extremes.

We’re starting 2026 by reconnecting with our long time supporter Chef Shane Osborn, and also planned four in person meetups this year. I hope you’ll join us!

🌱 ONLINE JAN MEETUP: PLANT-FORWARD WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Chef Shane Osborn joins us online on 27 January at 4PM HKT to explore plant-forward dining, flavour-first cooking, and how plant-forward eating stays joyful, nourishing, and commercially viable.
