31 March | UNEP Headquarters, Nairobi, Kenya | 12:00 - 14:00 EAT

Second Life Table: A Communal Experience on Waste and Possibility

Organizers: UNEP, UN-Habitat, Republic of Türkiye

This event is a dynamic, cocktail-style installation that blends visual art, live culinary demonstration, and social interaction. Guests are invited to move through the space, engaging with the installation and each other throughout the two-hour activation, which opens with a panel discussion. At its core, the experience features a live cooking challenge where chefs transform commonly discarded ingredients and imperfect produce—sourced from Farm to Feed—into creative dishes, highlighting both household food waste and often-overlooked losses at the producer level. Through layered encounters of conversation, visual storytelling, and shared food, the event fosters reflection and dialogue on more sustainable food systems.
Location: QR98+3H3, United Nations Ave, Nairobi, Kenya
