Ching Wei Chen
A soil and compost nerd certified in Permaculture Design, and a life-long student of nature, ecology and the all-consumingly vast and fascinating subject of food for humans and wildlife. Happiest deep in the countryside where she lived off-grid and grew 60% of her own vegetables and herbs; also happy to be in the city where I believe permaculture can be unleashed to create tiny urban farms, food forests and meadows that can coexist with the concrete jungle, and be productive and commercially viable. Ching Wei slowly orbited into the Foodscape Collective Ecosystem after discovering Cuifen and Chun Yeow promoting compost practices in a mall two years ago. Currently co-leading Project Black Gold, a community food scrap composting pilot project.

Ong Chun Yeow
Chun Yeow is an aspiring urban farmer growing edibles along his apartment corridor and a community garden on the rooftop of a multi-storey carpark. As a former IT professional in the public sector, he was a technology-enabler to improve the accessibility of cultural heritage which inspired him to believe culture placemaking plays an important role in ensuring a liveable city. His advocacy efforts are in environmental, food and plastic waste reduction/upcycling activities and campaigns led by groups like the Green Ambassadors, Green Nudge, Plastic-Lite Singapore and Journey to Zero Waste Life in Singapore. He has been supporting discussions, events and workshops by Foodscape Collective to achieve a circular food system, organic waste to compost and soil rehabilitation initiatives.

Lim Sixian
Sixian is perennially preoccupied about what it means to be well, and what it takes to nurture healthy, flourishing humans and ecosystems. She seeks to hold space for people, in uncovering new ways of knowing, seeing and relating to themselves and their environment, very so often, inviting nature and some earth magic into the process. She enjoys sitting in circle, connecting with like-hearted kith and kin as they share their gifts in this collective reckoning. Biased towards wild places & humans, Sixian believes deeply in having longer tables (on which good nourishing food sits), not higher walls. Currently, she supports the well-being pod of Foodscape Collective and the editorial team at Foodscape Pages.
