Description
Book SynopsisFrom edible insects and lab-grown meat to industrial farming and freeganism, the future of food is the debate on everyone's lips. The need for change in our food systems-to secure a more sustainable, healthy and fair future-is recognized as a major global challenge. Food: Bigger Than The Plate engages with the work of artists, designers and food professionals who are examining key activities and relationships through food. It discusses diverse and creative ways to reimagine food waste, biodiversity, supply chains and social empowerment through the politics and the pleasures of one of life's single greatest necessities.
