ONE WEEK OF BROCCOLI
What to cook with 17 tons of broccoli, 300 litres of milk and 2000 tomatoes? And how to deal with strict food laws and the free market economy in the race against food waste? One Week Of Broccoli experiments with possible approaches to solutions: theoretical and practical.
Every year our supermarkets throw away 200,000 tonnes of food because the expiry date has passed, even though the food is still good for days, sometimes weeks, afterwards. At the same time people experience food insecurity and live very restricted lives or at times have to do without food altogether.
One Week Of Broccoli works with supermarkets, supply chains and celebrity chefs to organise a unique and unusual race against time: a race against the expiry date and against hunger, battling unforeseeable ingredients in unpredictable quantities.
Over a period of 24 hours, supermarkets deliver food that is about to expire to large kitchens where star chefs have to improvise because they don't know what will be delivered or how many bellies they will need to fill.
While the kitchens are frantically busy cooking downstairs, representatives from politics, business and science meet upstairs in a specially founded 24-hours think tank to solve the moral and logistical questions behind one of the most pressing problems of the western world in a combative, provocative and exciting live debate: how to stop food waste and ensure fair distribution against hunger.
