7/17 The Food Project – Big Bento Redo – Biteology – The Rebirth of Fruits and Vegetables 

Dates and location | Concept Design Room, Taiwan Design Center 2pm-4pm

Introduction |Bring your lunch boxes and cutlery! Alice Wang Design has teamed up with Taipei restaurant Biteology to present the Rebirth of Fruits and Vegetables (蔬果重生食堂). There are numerous reasons why farmed food is thrown away–it is too small, too ugly, too irregular, or there is too much of it. The farmers from Yunlin County (雲林縣) will donate a days worth of fruit and vegetables destined for the dustbin, and Biteology will repurpose them into this food experiment. Let’s see how many people can be fed with this so-called waste food!
