Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden (KFBG) was selected by the HKSAR Government in 2010 to transform the heritage site into a "Green Hub for Sustainable Living". It is part of the "Revitalising Historic Buildings Through Partnership Scheme (Batch II)" (Revitalization Scheme). The Green Hub has reimagined the Old Tai Po Police Station, a Grade I listed historic building built in 1899, to demonstrate h
ow we can live sustainably while at the same time respecting nature and respecting each other. The Green Hub offers solutions to the challenges facing us in finding harmony with the natural world. Such challenges include the widespread disconnect between people and nature, an economic order that demands limitless growth, over-exploits biodiversity and resources, causing the collapse of ecosystems, runaway climate change, and endangering our food security. Our role is to “help people help themselves” by seeking a lifestyle in tune with nature and with their local community, and for us all to lead lower-carbon lives.
