A total of 50 students joined the visits. Topics on premium vegetables, accredited vegetables and the practice of local organic vegetables were introduced to students. Besides, the operation system in VMO such as the trading facilities, accounting and pesticide residue testing logistic were explained. During the visit, students were presented the advanced technology in hydroponics. Students visited the \u201cControlled Environment Hydroponic Research and Development Centre\u201d. Details on nutrient and water supply through an indoor planting system were illustrated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>         Students enjoyed the visits as they can learn more latest cropping technology and they have a deeper understanding on food trading operation. \u201cI personally appreciate how V.M.O. is supporting local farmers as well as promoting locally produced and organic vegetables to citizens. As V.M.O. is a self-financing, non-profit making organization, V.M.O. has been aggressively collaborating with wet markets, supermarkets, and chain health food stores to build up more sales channels in order to make it easier for the public to acquire local organic and accredited veggies.\u201d Tong Ching Yu, a NUFM year 1 student valued the work of VMO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"577\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/2-1024x577.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1058\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/2-1024x577.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/2-1536x865.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/2-2048x1153.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/2-1140x642.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/2-552x311.jpg 552w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Ms Cathy Yau from AFCD explained the production process of hydroponic baby leaf to our students<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"577\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/3-577x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1059\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/3-577x1024.jpg 577w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/3-169x300.jpg 169w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/3-768x1364.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/3-865x1536.jpg 865w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/3-1153x2048.jpg 1153w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/3-1140x2025.jpg 1140w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/3-552x980.jpg 552w, https:\/\/www.cie.hkbu.edu.hk\/division\/as\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/06\/3-scaled.jpg 1441w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 577px) 100vw, 577px\" \/><figcaption>Students paid attention to the basic concepts and technical facilities of C.E.H.
