Food Indaba

Food Indaba is an annual programme of talks and events that focus on the food system.

Hosted from 2014 to 2023 as the Food Dialogues, the Food Indaba brings together a wide range of speakers involved in shaping the food system, providing an opportunity for food growers, academics, activists, writers, nutritionists, policy makers, food lovers and anyone interested in meaningful change, to engage in key issues intimately connected to the food we eat and the future of food. The goal is to foster a healthier, more resilient and just food system.

Cooking, sharing and eating food also form important elements, while art exhibitions and tours diversify the approaches and introduce aspects of celebration and commemoration.

The Food Indaba is designed to improve, provoke and further actions taken in the real world.
