Food sustainability is a wide topic. We impact it by what we eat but greatly by what we don’t. So much of our food is produced but never eaten, 1.3 billion tonnes globally. The doctrine of organic is quickly being eclipsed by the need for sustainable intensification.
During this special event, the highly acclaimed chefs from the Merchant Hotel Belfast plan to explore the issues through six courses with every part of each ingredient being used to its maximum potential. Each course stemming from one specific ingredient with a strong influence of what we believe to be sustainable sources.
You will also hear from local food expert Chris Elliott on the global context of food security, safety and sustainability. Chris is the Director of the Institute for Global Food Safety and Pro Vice Chancellor at Queen’s University Belfast
