Closing the Loop: Sustainability and Waste in the Food System
Why is there more food in our bins than on our plates?
Waste occurs at every level of the food system — in farming, supermarkets, restaurants and home kitchens. When the supermarket won’t stock a crooked carrot, it won’t end up on our plate. How do we better connect consumers with the food that they eat? Hear what the experts have to say about the key issues of sustainability and waste in our food system, and how can we combat these in our day-to-day operations and consumption habits.
Speakers include Katy Barfield (Yume), Kaitlin Reid (Reground) & David Craven (C40).

Partners of Worksmith: Scarf Community
We are proud to announce our partnerhsip with Scarf who will be moving their operations into Worksmith.
Some words from the Scarf Community:
We believe that hospitality can transform lives.
In 2010 we cooked up a way to make that happen.
We knew heaps of young people hungry for hospitality jobs but facing barriers to getting them. We brought them together with mentors keen to share knowledge and networks, then mixed in sponsors and restaurants ready to create a new kind of dining experience.
We created the first Scarf Dinners season. It was a recipe for success.
Now Scarf pops up in a new Melbourne restaurant every season. Young people get hands-on experience and real confidence to get real industry jobs.
They do it in a space where creativity thrives, individuality reigns and high fives are just part of the process.
Diners love seeing the training and mentoring first hand, love being part of something much bigger, and love the moveable feast that is Scarf.We’re Scarf. Join us for dinner, and do more than dine.
The Worksmith team can’t wait to welcome Scarf and provide a space for them to grow their community.

If you are like me and you give way to many f*cks about most things in your life, then this book is for you. It is not a guide to living a carefree life, but more a point of reference to give you greater understanding of what things actually matter.
