FEAST (Food Education and Sustainability Training) – our curriculum aligned education program for schools, is proving to be a powerful catalyst for change. By bringing hands-on learning experiences into classrooms, we’re not just teaching skills – we’re inspiring the next generation of change-makers (over 80,000 students to date), all helping to make a difference to the national goal to halve food waste in Australia by 2030.

In just over a year, the high school program has rapidly expanded to over a quarter of Australian schools, demonstrating the urgent appetite for meaningful sustainability education. Our resources have been updated to align with the Australian Curriculum V9, embedding inclusivity and prioritising Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Histories and Cultures, ensuring a holistic and respectful approach to learning.

Teacher Emilly Duff from Sunbury Heights Primary School captured the impact of the program:

“FEAST has truly transformed the lives of our students, even the most disengaged students are now excited to attend school and are cooking at home. The program has sparked confidence, connection, and a sense of purpose in our students.”

Our national reach has been bolstered by exciting milestones, including welcoming the Federal and Tasmanian Education Ministers to cook alongside student change-makers and officially launching FEAST in Tasmania and the Northern Territory. With over 1,000 school enrolments and growing, we’re creating a nationwide movement of young people equipped to challenge food waste and create sustainable solutions.

In the words of a passionate year 7 advocate from San Sisto College:

“Every student in Australia should be learning about this stuff, I can’t wait to show what I know!”
