The sustainability forum To help encourage broader discussion around sustainability issues, the Festival presented its second lively and thought-provoking sustainability forum, attracting a group of renowned panellists. Hosted by journalist, TV presenter, blogger and health coach Sarah Wilson, this year’s panel spoke on the topic Whatever happened to “waste not, want not”?, looking at the cost of food waste in Australia and how it extends beyond the financial. In association with the Australian Meat and Livestock Association’s Target 100 program and NSW Environment Protection Authority’s Love Food Hate Waste initiative, the food waste discussion was brought to the fore providing insight into the time, effort, and resources that go into our food, whilst identifying some of the key issues and concerns surrounding what we eat, and what we don’t.
