FOOD CYCLE

TODAY’S MATTER 2024

We delve 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 our story. By understanding these interconnected stages, we remind a system that nourishes both people and the environment. Inspired by innovative projects like Joost Bakker’s Food Future System, we deliver a space where to think of a culinary future that is not only delicious but also sustainable.

This event celebrates the creative collaboration between designers, food experts, culinary arts, and environmental science. It showcases the efforts of those working to make the food cycle more resilient and equitable. Through a combination of dialogues, workshops and an interactive exhibition, we aim to bring the stories of the importance of food practices that shape how you engage with the world and reimagine the future.

By engaging with this theme, we hope to inspire visitors to reflect on their own food choices and consider how they can contribute to a more sustainable future.
