Food Waste Researcher is part of the San Hui Community Economy Project 2.0, a people-first economic model that draws on local resources and the skills and knowledge of San Hui’s stakeholders to meet the neighbourhood’s needs.
Volunteers — “Tuen Friends” — receive the community currency “Tuen Dollars” in recognition of their time and effort. Tuen Dollars can be exchanged for partner activities, products and offers from San Hui shops, or surprises, strengthening community ties as they circulate.
