Food Citizen Pte Ltd is an educational business born from a network of individuals passionate about food sustainability. Our mission is to bring global knowledge into local contexts, empowering people in Singapore city to become Earth stewards. We encourage exploration beyond existing knowledge and beliefs, reimagining choices that can positively impact others, and taking meaningful action within our own communities.
At Food Citizen, we collaborate with sustainability practitioners to transform local knowledge and passion into joyful, informative, and thought-provoking workshops. Our goal is to create a viable livelihood for ourselves and others through this work.
Our approach is guided by the principles of permaculture:
Earth Care
We help people understand their role within living systems and how they can contribute to a healthier Earth through composting, gardening, place stewardship, or supporting regenerative farmers and gardeners, or making more conscious food choices.
People Care
We see Food Citizen as a living system where everyone’s needs are acknowledged and met in simple, compassionate ways, enabling all to thrive.
Fair Share
We pay fair-trade fees to our trainers, facilitators, speakers, and volunteers. As a not-for-profit, we earn enough to sustain the business and achieve our social impact goals. As part of a network dedicated to co-creating a just and circular food system, a portion of Food Citizen's revenue supports selected projects within the network. The insights we gain from being involved in these projects enrich our work at Food Citizen Pte Ltd.

What our clients say
Living Systems
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."
Jocelyn Cai
Community Composting
"Oh wow, that was so inspiring! Thanks for sharing this story with us, it definitely helped us understand more on how community composting can really change the choices we make and slowly improve the climate crisis, rather than thinking that there is no hope in the future."
SS, high school student
Food Experiences
"I loved that many of the ingredients were locally harvested, foraged or rescued. This is a wonderful way to connect people with what is locally available and to unique flavours, the experience helps to open one's mind to new possibilities, demonstrating that these types of ingredients are not lesser than, but pull their own weight. I would love to see more pairings like this, different iterations of local herbs, edible flowers, foraged food, medicinal plants, rescued food."
Olivia Chong, The Tender Gardener
Connections between Food & Soil
"The workshop is fun and informative! Chingwei (our trainer) shared lots of detailed information that we have never noticed even though we have been seeing it everyday. She is also full of knowledge about soil and compost. She patiently answered all our questions about it."
HY, preschool teacher
Nature-based Gardening
"I have really enjoyed the evenings following both workshops (delivered by natural farmer Tang Hung Bun). I think being in the presence of such much enthusiasm and dedication during the workshop really rubs off, re-energising me in the process."
