This is the bizarre moment a 29-tonne load of carrots was dumped outside a London university as an art installation highlighting food wastage.  The carrots were tipped out by the Ben Pimlott Building at Goldsmiths College in New Cross, which is part of the University of London. Video footage taken by student Matt Colquhoun shows the seemingly endless stream of carrots - and some potatoes - spilling out of the large truck while confused students watched on Tuesday.
