Mud wrestling part of the lessons at farm teaching Hongkongers how to plant rice
Farmer worked with agriculture students to devise events that get city dwellers reconnecting with nature while they learn.
April is the start of the rice planting season in Hong Kong, where a local farm has been working with local agriculture students to organise an event to get city dwellers involved. They came up with a number of family activities, including having parents and children help prep muddy rice paddies for planting. They include finding and discarding snails that eat the rice plants, a race through the mud and, to cap it all off, some competitive mud wrestling. The activities are designed to teach visitors about rice farming while having fun.
