Youth Food Movement Presents CropFest
Learn to love less than ideal-looking produce while enjoying food prepared by local chefs.
Overview
Ever shy away from a misshapen tomato? How about a three-legged carrot? Chances are rare that you've ever encountered them at your local Coles; larger stores tend to reject these products based on appearance. Now the Youth Food Movement is hosting CropFest in order to teach young adults how to effectively use the imperfect produce they encounter.
CropFest will host a night of activities incorporating unloved produce. There will be meals prepared by local chefs, talks from farmers, live music, farm-direct produce stalls and cooking masterclasses. Youth Food Movement started in 2011 with the purpose of teaching and inspiring young Australians to make more sustainably conscious and locally based food choices. Their aim is to reduce food waste in Australia and to increase food literacy in young adults.
The Environmental Protection Authority's Love Food Hate Waste program, Green Villages, and the City of Sydney support CropFest. All leftover food from the event will be donated to OzHarvest.
