Postgraduate food science students Meghan Bennet, Hannah Cox, Felicity Prendergast and Dominic Shepherd are holding the event in the university's union hall on Thursday. From 10am until 2pm, students can get free food from the communal pantry and fridge, learn new recipes for food that is commonly wasted and play games. Mr Shepherd said the activities would include pedalling a smoothie bike borrowed from WellSouth, a pledge wall where students could write what they planned on doing to reduce their food waste, and food pong.
