Abstract

Chef Bill Manson had created a small community event, the Local Wild Food Challenge in 2008 in Eastbourne, New Zealand. The event had since become a network of communities holding yearly events in different countries celebrating the culinary skills of local people. With expansion Manson recognized that he needed to give more consideration to community event planning and organization, while also staying true to his commitment to inclusivity and promoting sustainability of local resources.
