Digest information by day in the food waste forum, and dine in style by evening at This is Rubbish’s “Feast” finale.

Forum and Feast is the grand finale of This is Rubbish’s successful Wales wide tour of food waste feasts this summer, and will be aimed at environment and food waste interested individuals and groups. Working in collaboration with The Centre for Alternative Technology (CAT), it will take place at CAT’s innovative and beautiful low carbon WISE building, the Welsh Institute for sustainable education.

The event promises an in depth look at the causes and solutions of food waste with a range of experts including Dr Andy Rees; Head of Waste Strategy, Welsh Assembly Government, Dr Adrian Morley; Research Associate at Business Relationship, Accountability, Sustainability and Society (BRASS), Emma Marsh; Head of WRAP’s Love Food Hate Waste campaign, and Professor Martin Caraher, Reader in food and health policy at the dept of Health Management and Food Policy at City University.  The forum, an engaging program of panel discussions, workshops, complimentary lunch, film screenings and exhibition (9.30am – 6.30pm), will be followed by an exceptional evening Feast; a three course sumptuous supper made form food that otherwise would’ve been wasted, served at a candle lit table, accompanied live music and original entertainment from troubadour folk band Bard (7.00 – 10pm).

In collaboration with Pontoi Arts, and the Open Arts Festival, TiR and Bycicology took to the streets handing out rejected apples. Each apple invited the unsuspecting crowd to the visiting Luminarium, for a day of activities and games with apples of all shapes, sizes and creed.
