Today’s Matter 2024 delves into the theme of the food cycle, emphasising the importance of reconnecting with the origins of our food and understanding the journey it takes before it reaches our plates. The complex interplay between food source, production, consumption, and waste is central to the story. By understanding these interconnected stages, the project reflects on a system that nourishes both people and the environment.    

Inspired by innovative projects like Joost Bakker’s Food Future System, the event creates a space to imagine a culinary future that is not only delicious but also sustainable. It celebrates creative collaboration between designers, food experts, culinary practitioners, and environmental thinkers through dialogues, workshops, and an interactive exhibition.
