Tasting Australia presented by Journey Beyond may be over for another year, but the impact continues long after the last plate was cleared. 🌱
Across the festival, we worked with partners, producers, chefs and community organisations to help make this year’s event more sustainable, accessible and connected:
🦪 Oyster, mussel and scallop shells collected in Town Square through OzFish’s Shells for Reefs program, helping create new reef habitat along South Australia’s coastline.
🍽️ Reusable glassware available for visitors in Town Square, biodegradable tableware across the festival and reusable enamel plates used at regional managed events to help reduce waste.
🌱 A partnership with BiobiN to compost food waste from Town Square vendors, creating composting materials that can be returned to South Australian businesses.
♿ Accessibility initiatives across Town Square including accessible parking, drop-off locations, wheelchair access, quiet hours, accessible toilets and baby change facilities.
🫶 Supporting social impact programs through partnerships with organisations including OzHarvest, along with opportunities for TAFE students to work alongside chefs at ticketed events.
