Feeding the 5000 came to Brussels where  a delicious lunch was made entirely from fresh food that would otherwise go to waste to over 5000 people in order to highlight the global food waste scandal and the positive solutions.

Feeding the 5000 Brussels is bringing together an alliance of organisations at all levels to raise awareness of the scale of food waste in Belgium, the EU and globally and promote the solutions which exist.

Feeding the 5000 Brussels and its surrounding campaign are being organised in partnership with the Feeding the 5000 campaign and a range of organisations working to tackle food waste in Belgium and internationally. These include EU FUSIONS, the Federation of Belgian Food Banks, Oxfam, Slow Food, Slow Food Youth Network Brussels, Disco Soupe Brussels, 11.11.11., CRIOC, Velt, KOMOSIE and Social Groceries Flanders, as well as the Flemish Minister for Poverty Reduction.

The event was being supported by WWF, Eurotoques, Food Sharing and Food for Life Global.
