嘉道理農場暨植物園將於2025年2月8日與中文大學香港亞太研究所城市創新中心、本土研究社、世界自然基金會香港分會、長春社以及香港觀鳥會，聯合舉行「見農在田—『農業優先區』政策研討會」。

農地乃農業發展根本， 政府2024年12月初公佈「農業優先區」政策文件，建議界定 37 個「農業優先區」，共涉及約 980 公頃土地。有關政策對本地農業發展、水土資源以至自然鄉郊環境均帶來深遠影響，值得業界及社會人士關注。多個農業組織、環團、專業界別以及農場的代表，將出席是次研討會分享意見，集思廣益，推動本地農業發展邁向永續目標。

歡迎業界及關注本地農業的單位，參與這次研討會。

除研討會外，我們亦安排三場戶外農區探訪(梅窩、八鄉、川龍)，讓公眾可親身瞭解農田與自然環境、糧食生產的連結。

Overview of “Agricultural Priority Areas” Policy Seminar & Farm Visit

On 8 February 2025, Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden will co-host the “Overview of the Agricultural Priority Areas Policy Seminar” with the Centre for Urban Innovations (Hong Kong Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies, CUHK), Liber Research Community, WWF-Hong Kong, the Conservancy Association and the Hong Kong Bird Watching Society.

Farmland is fundamental to agricultural development. In early December 2024, the Hong Kong government announced the “Agricultural Priority Areas” policy document, proposing to define 37 such areas covering approximately 980 hectares of land. This policy has far-reaching implications for local agricultural development, water and soil resources, and the natural rural environment. It deserves the attention of industry and the public.

Representatives from various agricultural organisations, green groups, professional sectors and farms will attend this seminar to share insights.

We welcome industry participants and organisations interested in local agriculture to attend this seminar. In addition to the seminar, we will also arrange three farm visits, to Mui Wo, Pat Heung and Chuen Lung, to allow the public to understand better the connection between farmland, natural environment and food production.
