About the Speaker: Dr Daisy Tam
Dr Daisy Tam is the Fulbright Senior Scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Urban Risk Lab in 2018. She is an Assistant Professor at the Hong Kong Baptist University where she teaches and does research on food systems and practices with a particular focus on urban food security. She is also the founder of Breadline @ HK FoodWorks.
About the Topic: Networked Intelligence – Crowdsourcing Food Rescue
Like many cosmopolitan cities, Hong Kong’s urban food system is unsustainable – it spends 4.4% of its GDP to import over 90% of the food it consumes and disposes 3648 tonnes of it a day into landfills, while 1.3 million people face food insecurity. Tackling the logistical challenge of food rescue contributes positively to waste reduction and poverty alleviation and increases community resilience. Hong Kong Foodworks is a website dedicated to the discussion of Hong Kong’s Food System which provides open source resources for researchers and practitioners in food of all levels. Hong Kong Foodworks is Dr. Daisy Tam’s current research which investigates the potential of a networked approach to crowdsourcing food rescue in urban environments.In the talk, Dr. Tam will cover the design aspects of the platform, theoretical implications of collective intelligence, and insights drawn from the urban food system in Hong Kong.
