Join us to explore how past practices, emerging technologies, and global challenges could reshape the way we grow, share, and consume food.
About this Event

In-person & Online Event

Food is more than just fuel, it is deeply connected to our identity, memories, and emotions. Over centuries, colonisation, global trade and commercial farming have driven the movement of crops and ingredients across continents, shaping the global food culture we know today. But with climate change accelerating, is this interconnected and often exploitative food system sustainable? And if not, what might our diets look like in the future? And how will this effect food cultures?

Join us as we explore the future of food through a human-centred lens, considering not only emerging technologies, but also practices of the past that have shaped how we grow and consume food today. We will examine the economic forces driving a globalised food system and how these impact sustainability and equity in a warming world. Drawing on research from the humanities and social sciences this discussion will uncover how our relationship with food might evolve with the challenges ahead.
