Ocean Week Canada: Eat the Invaders

You’re invited to a creative collaboration of the UN’s Biodiversity + Design initiative – where cuisine meets conservation. Each bite becomes part of a culinary adventure that re-imagines how we nourish the planet, together by choosing over plentiful ingredients. Eat the Invaders is an evening for lovers of food and nature showcasing how people can support sustainable foods and re-balance human damaged ecosystems while eating like royalty.

Participating chefs will create dishes featuring one or more invasive species.
