It turned out to be a good cabbage-year. In fact, this year’s cabbage harvest turned out so well, there is more cabbage than farmer Krispijn can process for a fair price. What to do with a food-surplus of 60.000 kilo of cabbages? Mediamatic receives them to survive the winter on cabbage and avoid food waste. This Saturday we kick off our cabbage winter programme with a cabbage stacking party. Join us and help change food surplus into an edible cabbage installation while dancing to festive cabbage tunes. Free cabbage soup all day for all the cabbage-stackers!

Value and Waste

One harvest turns out better than the other. Even so, if nature delivers more than man calculated, the food market is not evenly flexible, and value doesn't adhere to nature's laws. What is the value of our food, and where does the value go? This Saturday, the cabbage is stored in Mediamatic's barn as an edible installation waiting for hungry people.
