The competition was in collaboration with the Slow Food Foundation‘s Menu for Change campaign for Biodiversity: Cooking Up a Better Future. The mission of the Oysternut Foundation is to promote the cultivation and consumption of the oysternut, a heritage food known as "kweme" in Kiswahili. In alignment with the values of the international Slow Food movement, the Oysternut Foundation promotes agricultural methods that are based on local biodiversity and respect for the land and local culture and that are in harmony with the environment and aim to provide food sovereignty and access to good, clean, and fair food for communities.
