Taste Before You Waste is a foundation, based in Amsterdam, giving workshops in the Vokomokum space (the Dokhuis Galery). Fun fact: its founder was also the first member of Vokomokum! They have the mission to reduce consumer food waste by providing citizens with the inspiration, knowledge and opportunity for responsible and waste-free consumption. They create a welcoming international community of foodies by hosting donation-based events such as Food-cycle Markets, Wasteless Dinners, Educational Workshops. They raise awareness and empower citizens. Taste Before You Waste contributes to a social movement that pushes for a fairer and more sustainable food system. A perfect fit to our community members of Vokomokum.
Workshops
With surplus food from their partner grocery shops in the Javastraat, that would have gone for waste, our professional cooks and food ambassadors present the most environmentally conscious, healthy, delicious, vegan choice for your get together with friends and the neighborhood. It is a great way to meet other Voko members, enjoy food together and taste before you waste!
Volunteer work
To keep the workshops rolling, organize the food-cycle markets and so on they need volunteers. If you are interested in learning more about how not to waste your food, you can sign up. Do you want to take the opportunity to give back to the community and create change?
They can offer a unique experience to connect with open-minded people where you are guaranteed to have fun!
