• Tour Noumea Port Moselle Market

Visit the market - which is a source for local fresh produce – fruits & vegetables, and seafood – and tis at the heart of local food systems. As we look to addressing food systems deficiencies in the Pacific, the role of markets and broader food system environments is important. Markets as food spaces need to be optimised to be able to transform food systems by seeing how people can supply, purchase, and consume, especially for health and nutrition outcomes.

• Come listen to Indigenous Food Systems Advocate, Guillaume Vama

Drawing on what you see in the local market and its connections to New Caledonia’s indigenous food systems. How local farming practices is crucial in making our food supply systems more resilient because local produce/production, local distribution & consumption creates habits and abilities to weather different disruptions, and crises. Underpinning this is the climate and food nexus and importance of environment and biodiversity.

• Sample and savour a local breakfast

This will be prepared by local foodie & agroecologist, Julien Lebreton. Showcasing what you can purchase from your local markets to prepare nutritious and tasty meals. It strongly showcases the importance of supporting local farming communities and markets as it gives access to nutritious and diverse produce; shows us what is available seasonally connecting us to cycles and nature; recognises the livelihoods opportunities; promotes food literacy, and fosters connections in the community through food.
