ZERO HUNGER, Meal Preparation Volunteer Activity
Experiential Learning Activity | CCL22230334
安全而充足的食物是人類生存的基本必需品。然而，根據聯合國《可持續發展目標報告 2021 》，2020 年，世界上有 7.2 億到 8.11 億人面臨飢餓，比 2019 年增加多達 1.61 億人。全世界飢餓人口中，亞洲佔一半多( 4.18 億)、非洲佔三分之一( 2.82 億)。
作為 17 個可持續發展目標之一的「零飢餓」距離實現仍有很大距離。為了促進該目標，「惜食堂」於2011年成立，開展食物回收及援助計劃，宗旨為「停止浪費、 解決飢餓、以愛相連」。惜食堂的團隊致力向本地飲食界回收仍可安全食用之剩餘食物，通過嚴格的食物安檢程序，再經中央廚房烹煮成營養均衡的膳食或預備成食物包，最後由物流團隊免費派發給社會上需要食物援助的人士。現時，惜食堂平均每星期回收45噸仍可食用的剩餘食物，每天自家製作超過17,000份營養均衡的膳食，並拹助提供約11,000份其他膳食及食物包，免費給予社會上有需要食物援助的人士。
香港浸會大學可持續發展目標關注組今次將與惜食堂合作舉辦義工活動，召集浸大同學參與援助飯盒的製作，體驗食物回收再烹飪工作，提高可持續發展意識。
Safe and adequate food is a basic necessity for human survival. However, according to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals Report 2021, between 720 million and 811 million people in the world are facing hunger in 2020, an increase of as much as 161 million people from 2019. Asia accounts for more than half (418 million) of the world's hungry people and a third (282 million) in Africa.
Zero Hunger, one of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals, is still far from being achieved.
Food Angel is a food rescue and food assistance program launched in 2011 by Bo Charity Foundation with the mission of "Waste Not, Hunger Not, With Love".
The program rescues edible surplus food from different sectors of the food industry that would otherwise be disposed of as waste. Following strict safety protocols, the rescued food items will then be prepared as nutritious meals in our central kitchens and food packs. They will be distributed to serve the underprivileged communities in Hong Kong.
Currently, Food Angel rescues 45 tonnes of edible surplus food each week, producing over 17,000 nutritious meals and helps distribute over 11,000 other meals and food packs daily free of charge for people who are in need of food assistance.
This time, we, the Focus Group on Sustainable Development Goals in Hong Kong Baptist University will cooperate with Food Angel to hold a volunteer activity. The students of HKBU will be invited to participate in the production of lunch boxes, experience the work of food recycling and cooking, and raise awareness of sustainable development.
