“I never thought I’d be a farmer.”
In this episode, Evelyn Eng-Lim reflects on her origin story of volunteering with Nature Society before she found herself at the crossroads of owning a plot of land to reclaim autonomy of the food and produce she consumes and eventually, building a food forest at the heart of Lim Chu Kang. She highlights the importance of people and community in building a soil-based farm and what we stand to lose as farms rich in biodiversity are being replaced by agri-tech in Singapore. Can we truly balance the two?

Climate change is depressing and it’s honestly a lot to take in. What do global climate declarations and supply chain disruptions actually mean to the average person on the ground?
Here at Climate Cheesecake, we try to break down these global, regional and local happenings into more manageable slices - so it’s not so overwhelming (not so jelat lah).
