A SUSTAINABLE VEGETARIAN FUTURE

This year we are very honored to have Gary Yin, executive head chef of Michelin three-starred vegetarian restaurant – King’s Joy, as the keynote speaker for the morning session. In this forum, Gary will share his insights on the future of sustainable vegetarian dining: deconstructing the concept of vegetarian dining from King’s Joy, analyzing how the sustainable vegetarian dining will be fulfilled in the future, and the utilization of vegetables. He will also share how to return to the source of the food through the dishes at King’s Joy, how to purify our bodies, and pass on his understandings on vegetarianism. Hoping to lead a new trend of vegetarian culture.
