Who we are
Food Citizen is an educational venture in Foodscape Collective, a network of people committed to co-creating a regenerative future with a focus on food-related issues. We provide sustainability practitioners with a platform to distil their knowledge into workshops and programmes for schools and organisations ready for climate or social action.
Our workshops often begin with food as an entry point to explore wider issues. These can include waste from human activities, farming and food sourcing practices, food distribution and preparation, food for healthy living, and how individuals can help shape cities of the future.
Our trainers are usually career changers or caregivers who weave sustainability and personal values into their lifework. Each of them bring an authentic and relatable touch to their session.

Our Beginnings
In the early years of the network, Cuifen and peers spent time exploring and connecting with people shaping Singapore’s food system. During this time, Cuifen mapped Singapore through the lens of food, focusing on the intersection of environmental sustainability and social action.
By 2018, public agencies and schools begun reaching out to ask for customised programmes to better understand the local food landscape and take meaningful climate or social action. To meet this budding demand, Cuifen registered Food Citizen as an education-focused business.
Members of the network — including Ching Wei, Chun Yeow, Deepa, Geok Kuan, Han Jing, Hanzhong, Oi Lian, Miriam, and Tang Hung Bun — have contributed to refining Food Citizen’s mission and services.
