What we do
Food Citizen is a practice-led educational venture exploring everyday relationships with food, soil, and health of living systems. We design learning experiences, gatherings, and collaborative projects where knowledge grows through doing and experimenting — from composting and gardening, to food preparation, connecting with our local food system, and having shared meals and conversations.
What this matters
Cities like Singapore are highly urbanised. Many of us feel that we care deeply about food, nature, and the people around us — and yet at the same time, feel a lack of true understanding and how we can contribute to a fairer and healthier world.
​
By paying attention to what and who is present, and learning different ways to care for nature, we begin to shift how we live and have a firmer basis to imagine a future where all life can thrive.
How we work
Our co-creators, trainers, and partners practice what we teach. Our own learning unfolds in locations such as kitchens, gardens, parks, workplaces, libraries. What we teach may be global knowledge, to us, learning and responding to what works locally is important.
​
Many of our partnerships begin as conversations and shared exploration.​ This means partnering selectively with individuals and organisations who share our values and direction, and are open to shaping the work together as it unfolds.
​
Our freelance trainers are usually career changers or homemakers who weave their values into how they live their life. Each person brings a relatable touch to their session.
​
Our customers are schools, higher learning institutions, workplace teams, community groups, and individuals. People who reach out to us are curious about food sustainability, learning more about the local food system, and how they can learn from more experienced practitioners.

Network and Projects
We are part of the Foodscape Collective network — a loose ecosystem of individuals, businesses, and projects experimenting with regenerative food practices in Singapore. Our co-creators, Chingwei and Cuifen, lead projects with other network members. This allows us to learn alongside peers, and also create new opportunities for place-based experiments and stewardship.
