In Australia, 2.4 million tonnes of food waste each year do not end up on our plates. While some food waste is unavoidable, much of it is not. Food waste costs $6 billion each year. It is also a big contributor to climate change and wasted water.
Through an exhibition and a panel discussion, this event will explore how designers can help in the fight against food waste through:
- intervention
- collaboration
- creative exploration of waste, supply chains, manufacturing and materials.
Join Matt Wicking, facilitator from Cloud Catcher, who will lead conversations with local food-focused designers and innovators to discuss how to bring Australia’s zero-waste future into the present and inspire others to eliminate food waste through design.
The speakers are:
- Vanessa Murillo, co-founder of I Am Grounded
- Jordy and Julia Kay, founders of Great Wrap
- Kate Dundas, Director of Strategic Foresight and Research, Sustainability Victoria.
Before the discussion, take time to explore the exhibition. Uncover designs leading the charge towards our zero-waste future and meet the designers behind these innovations.
You will leave empowered to take your first steps into the decade that halves Victoria’s food waste by 2030. Find out more in our report The Path to Half.
