An evening all about coffee

'Growing a Feast' is one of five sustainability projects to receive funding from the University as part of the Education for Sustainable Development initiative.
Postgraduate students and staff from two schools - Global Studies and Media, Film and Music - are recruiting a network of people around Brighton and Hove to grow or make a single food ingredient over the summer (anything from planting veggies and growing herbs to baking bread and ageing cheese). Everyone will bring their ingredients along to a final event in September at the University where a chef will prepare the pieces in a shared feast. The aim is to promote sustainability in a simple way by connecting people with the food they eat.
The project will also host a series of talks over two days on Friday 9 and Saturday 10 August with guest speakers on food-related themes.
This second day of talks on Saturday 10 August 6pm-9pm is an evening all about coffee and will take place at NEST café in Brighton with guest speaker Steve Leighton, owner of Has Bean Coffee.
In the meantime, we’d like to invite you to get involved in ‘Growing a Feast’ by joining the facebook group here. You can connect with fellow feasters in the area, get food growing tips and post pictures of your creation as it develops.
