More than 50 percent of our agricultural crops end up as rubbish because they don’t fit the norm regarding shape and size, because their sell-by date is too cautious and short or simply because it keeps the economy going. Nobody in their right mind can think this is good. But what can we do to work against food waste? From August 12th to 14th, the fifth International Food Sharing Festival is taking place on the grounds of the Malzfabrik in Berlin. In many workshops, exciting talks, heated discussions, large group meetings and further numerous activities, newbies and experienced food activists can exchange and inspire each other, work on ideas and solutions, find out how to actually build a raised garden bed, save forgotten fruit or learn to tell green from green during a herbal expedition. The event is completely free of charge and includes meals from salvaged produce. Saving food by eating food. Makes sense!
