Tickets are now on Sale for the First Ever {Re} Food Forum

Tickets are now on sale for Bangkok's new pioneering two-days of talks on how to tackle the future of food waste at: {Re} Food Forum. The two-day forum - partnered with Fine Dining Lovers - designed to discuss waste and sustainability in the food industry in Asia.

Taking place on 19 and 20 March in Bangkok, Thailand, the forum will serve as an invaluable and neutral platform for nearly 40 industry experts from around the world to engage in dialogue and communication on some industry critical topics.

Scientists, chefs, farmers, food historians and social entrepreneur will all take part in "considering all aspects of food production, from the environment and sustainable and farming techniques to packaging, waste and the use of indigenous ingredients" explains organiser and chef Duangporn 'Bo' Sangvisava.

TICKETS

To join in the discussion, tickets can be purchased here, for both days or one day only.

What is {Re} Food Forum?

{Re} Food Forum is the brainchild of chefs Duangporn ‘Bo’ Songvisava and Dylan Jones at Bangkok's Bo.lan restaurant on Asia's 50 Best Restaurants list, together with writer and farmer Leisa Tyler, born out of the idea creating awareness about how we consume food responsibly.”
