Sustenance begins on World Food Day, October 16. It will wrap up on November 16.
Sustenance Festival is a food-focused city-wide festival that celebrates and shares local food-inspired workshops and events in public spaces in Vancouver.
Since 2009, the city-wide festival has provided a unique platform locally and internationally that gives space to explore the growing concerns around food in our world.
These concerns include:
- Industrialization of our food systems
- Access to food
- Inequity built into our food systems
- Climate change
By highlighting our approach to food, food traditions, and education we work towards responding to these concerns with the goal of building a brighter and more sustainable food landscape.
