World Food Day

16 October 2025

Dear alumni and friends,

We support this annual event and the theme of the year is we join hands in hands for better foods and a better future.

Better food

Food is nutritious can nourish physical wellbeing and is grown and produced virtuously without pollution to harm the environment.

Plant-based food like fruits, vegetables and whole grains and fish are low in sugar and dietary fats.  They are the opposite of animal-based agriculture that is destructive to the environment.  Cattle are associated with greenhouse gas emissions which they produced thru their digestive systems.  Their products of raw red meat and processed meat are linked to heart diseases and colorectal cancer.

Better future

Organic farming has less carbon emissions than animal-based agriculture.  It has no synthetic pesticides and fertilisers that can cause human suffering from many kinds of allergies. 

Moderation

Reducing intake of raw red meat and processed meat while increasing intake of cooked lean meat, fruits, vegetable, whole grains and fish to stay heathy day by day.  Here below is new food pyramid replacing the old version for reference.

Your action matter, together, we can have a better future and a healthier physical wellbeing.

Yours sincerely,

Curtin Alumni Association Hong Kong, the registered society of Hong Kong
