January 2026 – Plant-forward and less meat
A sneak peek into the sustainable journey of one of HK’s most loved chefs
Future Green Members Monthly Meetup – 27 January 2026
Start the year off on a good note 🌱
Our first Members Monthly Meetup of the year is all about Plant Forward — a practical, inspiring approach to food that supports both human health and planetary health, without perfection or pressure.
This isn’t about giving things up.
Plant Forward is about rebalancing our plates, celebrating plants, and making choices that are better for our bodies, our communities, and the food system as a whole.
As we step into a new year, it’s the perfect moment to reflect on how food can become a powerful lever for positive change.
For this January edition, we’re thrilled to welcome Shane Osborn, one of Hong Kong’s most loved chefs and a long-time champion of sustainable food.
Shane is the founder of the Arcane Collective, a group of purpose-led restaurants known for thoughtful sourcing, seasonality, and pushing the boundaries of what conscious dining can look like in Hong Kong.
His work has helped shape conversations around sustainability in hospitality — not just in theory, but in kitchens, menus, and businesses that operate in the real world.
His journey is also deeply woven into Future Green’s story.
From serving as first ever President of Food Made Good HK in its early days, to championing Future Green initiatives, awards, and impact projects over the years, Shane has been a consistent and trusted voice in food systems change. As we look ahead to 2026, we’re excited to continue working together on even bigger and bolder initiatives.
His experience navigating sustainability in Hong Kong — balancing creativity, commercial realities, and impact — offers rare and honest insight.
In this session, Shane will share:
- What Plant Forward means from a chef’s perspective
- How food choices connect health, climate, and culture
- Lessons from his sustainability journey in Hong Kong
- Why collaboration and community are essential to driving change
Whether you’re working in food, sustainability, hospitality, or simply curious about how to eat better for yourself and the planet, this Members Monthly Meetup is designed to inspire, ground, and energise you for the year ahead.
Let’s meet, reconnect, and begin the year Plant Forward — together.
