Weekend event highlights food miles and waste management
Having the Isle of Man Food Festival plastic-free would be "a little bit too far", according to the minister of environment, food and agriculture.
However, Geoffrey Boot does say efforts will be made to reduce plastic items there, where possible.
The event is being held at the Villa Marina in Douglas this weekend.
The importance of food miles and waste management will be among the themes featured.
