What it is :<\/strong><\/p>\n

I met three members of this collective during the workshop in Taipei. They had gathered in an abandoned house – rehabilitated into a restaurant by Taiwanese architects – to bake cookies and tempeh (an Indonesian fermented dish) with okara (the residues of Soy milk production, incredibly popular in Taipei and sold fresh amongst food stalls). They were planning to sell it on a local market that I will be mentioning in the post about food forests. Here is the manifesto of their work.<\/p>\n

Ferment the City!<\/strong>\u00a0is a group of people who share the common interest in fermentation and have practiced it in various ways as a natural process, which creates the conditions for good bacteria to interact, collaborate, multiply, and enhance the inherent nutritional value and taste of ingredients.
Most of them have experimented with kimchi, kombucha or ginger beer before and were all amazed by the capability of fermentation to turn organic (surplus) ingredients into delicious foods and beverages.<\/div>\n
They bring \u201cFerment the City!<\/span><\/strong>\u201d into being as an initiative to explore fermentation as a way to transform wastes into resources.<\/div>\n

Ferment the City! \u767c\u9175\u57ce\u5e02 is supported by 2019 CREATORS program of the Taiwan Contemporary Culture Lab (C-LAB) in Taipei.<\/div>\n
I also have their contact if needed!<\/div>\n

Where it is :<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taipei, Taiwan<\/p>\n

Why it is relevant :<\/strong><\/p>\n

They are keen to further investigate biological fermentation for transforming and recycling organic wastes into new resources, such as fermented food, animal feed, compost, urban gardening, craft and building materials.<\/p>\n

Their concept of “social fermentation<\/strong>” could also inspire many of us, as it symbolizes the slow process of collective ideas maturation to work towards positive futures.<\/p>\n
