agriCULTURED 2026

agriCULTURED returns to Launceston, a UNESCO City of Gastronomy, from Thursday 5 to Sunday 8 November 2026. The four-day festival brings together farmers, producers, artists, makers and everyday eaters to talk about how food is grown and why it matters. The program combines farm workshops, shared meals, music and creative experiences. Its themes include Tasmania’s food system, from paddock to policy, along with sustainability, fermentation and zero-waste, regenerative approaches to food. Speakers include novelist James Bradley, chef Paul West, Palawa Kipli leader Kitana Mansell and writer Richard Cornish. Partners include Events Tasmania, the City of Launceston and the University of Tasmania’s Tasmanian Institute of Agriculture. Tickets are sold through Humanitix, and the full program and speaker list are on the agriCULTURED website.
