Launched in 2017, World Disco Soup Day is a Slow Food International initiative to reduce food waste around the globe. This year, in light of the coronavirus pandemic, conventional festivities will be replaced with digital celebrations such as Facebook and Instagram live sessions on April 25, 2020, the date of this year’s event.

Slow Food International, established in Italy, has the goal of preserving food culture while also advocating for reducing food waste around the world. “Disco Soup” is a soup created with leftovers and food scraps, and is created every year to raise awareness of how much we waste. This year, the digitalised celebration invites supporters of the cause to submit their own recipes for Disco Soup online; the best recipes will be shared on Slow Food’s social media platforms.
