We believe that when people have a deeper experience of the living landscapes around them, they begin to see the world differently.

Inviting people to explore the living landscapes around them with curiosity, care, and fresh eyes.

A regenerative future begins by cultivating relationships—

with people, with the places we inhabit, and with the living world.

How we cultivate relationships with living landscapes

Learn

Discover the living landscapes around you.

Practice

Develop new ways of seeing, relating, and caring.

Steward

Care for the places and communities you call home.

Guiding preschool educators at a nature garden

“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."

Part of a larger movement

Food Citizen is part of a growing movement in Singapore — people choosing to cultivate deeper relationships with food, one another, and the living world.

Our programmes and community events create opportunities to be in urban nature, to explore our everyday neighbourhoods, and to examine the food we buy, cook, eat, and waste. We create room for like-minded strangers to meet, explore, learn, and steward life together. In a fast-moving city, these gatherings invite us to step away from the pace of daily life, to see familiar environments with fresh perspectives, and to practise making better choices — from classrooms and offices, to markets and kitchens, to parks, gardens, and public libraries.

Food Citizen is a self-sustaining venture. We pay our invited freelancers fairly, and any surplus after operating costs goes towards free and nominal-fee events for the broader community. We also support selected community-based projects — from public libraries to communal gardens — where people are growing food, composting, and regenerating life in their neighbourhoods.

Participants of a session where we explored wheat alternatives

Pancakes as a way to explore alternative grains: Foo Peiying shared her journey that led to experimenting with wheat alternatives. Everyone got to taste pancakes made from different grains.

Karen sharing about her food rescue journey

Karen Yip Taylor, founder of Summit Rescues, shared her journey in food rescue — showing how it can address food insecurity with dignity, care, and collaboration. The session was organised by Cuifen Pui, with support of Food Citizen and Jurong Library.
