Food Citizen Pte Ltd is an educational venture that grew out of a passionate community dedicated to eating and living better.
We curate and deliver engaging workshops that empower schools and communities to make informed choices and take meaningful climate and social action. Through our programs, participants discover regenerative ways of living while deepening their understanding of food systems and healthy ecosystems.
Our trainers are sustainability practitioners who freelance with us. Our content is grounded in science and real-world experience, making what we advocate both actionable and relatable.

What customers said
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.

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."
David Taylor, lecturer
Our social impact
Our customers mainly are educators, schools, corporates, or private individuals interested in taking meaningful climate or social action.
Our trainers are practitioners who freelance with us. They may be a mid-career individual in life transition, or a stay-home mum. We provide training, and curate meaningful job opportunities that fairly compensates for the practitioner's time, knowledge, and contribution. This allows our trainers to have the flexibility to focus on other priorities, which may include community projects or caring for their families.
Join us in making a difference
Food Citizen co-creators, Cuifen and Chingwei, lead place-based projects that combine nature-based principles with community action. These include Boon Lay Nature Garden, Bukit Gombak Compost Stewards, and Project Black Gold.
We encourage our workshop attendees and alumni to join us in learning and contributing to the long-term success of place-based projects. We can design programs that align with your organisation's CSR, ESG, educational and/or social impact goals.
