Many thanks to Alvin from Magic Organics who donated lots of lovely fresh Organic vegetable to give to students for Green week. He also chatted with The IB Food Science students about the importance of Biodiversity and how eating organic is better for us and the Environment.

His family owns Magic Organics Co, an organic vegetable farm in Qingyuan, Guangdong. We were lucky enough to receive an assortment of the beautiful vegetables which they grow, including tomatoes, carrots and green peas. Alvin shared with us the process of shipping the vegetables into Hong Kong, and how picking up the orders at 3am has allowed them to create a more efficient supply chain. He told us how his mother has worked on the farm for 20 years, and how it was this experience that taught them which crops grow best on which areas of their property. The Food Science students were tasked with packing and handing out the organic vegetables to students, and the bags were gone within minutes! We are so grateful to have been able to learn about this important aspect of food agriculture, and share it with the rest of the school.@
