Food will be cooked in Castello square by Marco Sacco, chef of the two Michelin stars “Piccolo Lago” Verbania restaurant. He will collect a ton of fresh food wastes and will transform them into a dish to be distributed among 5000 people. The event, organized in the name of food waste fight, will also be a moment of fun, music and party.

Feeding the 5000 is just the first of a series of concrete actions, banquets against food waste that will take place throughout Europe as part of the World Feeding day.
