Curating #experiences goes beyond logistics and aesthetics. My visit to Fine Food Australia in Melbourne this week reinforced that #sustainability is a core value and the food we serve can help tell a story. The Unilever Food Solutions trends workshop, featuring Chef Julian Cincotta of Butter Sydney, was my pick of the industry talks. Butter’s approach to "street meets luxury" cuisine and a commitment to sustainability was inspiring. With a staggering 65% of Australia's hospitality waste ending up in landfills, Butter's initiative to break down packaging costs for consumers and promote reusable options is a game-changer. The creation of Betizen* - a fresh take on sustainable packaging and the instigation of Sydney HospoDECLARE shows that small steps can have a ripple effect, inspiring others to embrace sustainable practices. Curating #events in an era of net-zero targets means #foodsustainability is a key consideration. What is the kitchen at your upcoming venue doing to drive a low-waste, sustainable food service? How can you showcase these efforts as part of the overall event experience? These questions should be an integral part of your event sustainability plan. - Communicate your sustainability efforts to attendees- showcase locally sourced ingredients, and waste reduction initiatives. - Collaborate with caterers and venues that show a commitment to sustainability. - Consider the entire lifecycle of your food, minimising waste, supporting local producers, and consider how it is served and consumed. The culinary landscape is evolving and we have the opportunity to embrace this shift and create experiences that nourish and delight our attendees with sustainability forefront while doing so. Anyone want to join me for dinner at Butter? It looks like a great experience … they focus on fried chicken, high end champagne & cocktails, hip hop and sneakers – what a combination!

Sustainability in whisky is a hot topic, especially for Gen Z and Millennials. But what's the real cost of going green, both for distilleries and consumers?

How can we make green choices accessible to all whisky lovers?

🥔🥦🍅🧅🧄🫛🌶️🥕Both times I have been in Brussels now, I stumbled upon some small indoor market shops selling mostly produce (vegetables & fruit), certified organic, largely local / regionally grown & also organic certified. The atmosphere always a bit interesting, industrial & bare but the selection of organic produce impressive. 🧱🧺This last visit, the one I stumbled into was Marche Biomarkt @marchebiomarkt in the gorgeously preserved Palais du Vin & Merchie-Pède. 🌏🌍🌎 For many people across Europe- and the world- buying locally grown, organic food remains unaffordable, inaccessible or simply a totally nonexistent option. 💡 I find it both interesting & exciting to consider how such markets like this (connected to regional farms) have the potential to change that, providing local walkable access to affordable, quality, organic, locally & regionally grown fruits & vegetables, also reflecting seasonality, encouraging use of reusable bags, provision of paper bags + boxes and elimination of plastic packaging. From Pedestrian Space philosophy & perspective, this is part of the vision for walkable access to healthy products from local & regional food systems within a sustainable urban context. 📷 Annika #localfoodsystems #localfood #Brussels #organicfood #foodsovereignty #foodandcities #urbanresilience
