Because of the pandemic, access to food has been limited that everyone has to rely on food delivery service. The concern for food safety has increased drastically. As COVID-19 affects every consumer and producer, many are wondering how to safely shop, access, and prepare food to minimize transmission of coronavirus. The solution? Urban agriculture through small-scale vegetable gardens!
In this second episode of a series of talks, ZCME asks Vegepod Philippines’ Evonne Hui to talk about growing your food organically in the urban setting. Evonne Hui is a work-at-home mom of three kids. She is the managing partner of Grapevine Asia, a boutique risk consultancy specializing in due diligence and corporate investigations in China, and is also in charge of the urban agriculture business of her husband’s company Nexgen Asia, the exclusive distributor of Vegepod in the Philippines.
