Food Futures

Food Futures will radically alter your ideas about consuming and producing food. Food designer Chloé Rutzerveld questions and explores new food production technologies and translates multidisciplinary research into future food scenarios. This book explains her thoughts, process, and work, which is often described as provocative, cheeky, and playful— inspiring and involving consumers in the discussion about potential food futures.

Follow the conceptualisation of completely edible, mini vegetable gardens with crispy plants and mushrooms that become a full meal after being printed by a 3D printer. Engage in a quest for a new eating system in which we digest 100% of the nutrients we take in (instead of the current 75%) by breeding bacteria that are harvested into capsules, which look, taste, and smell good.

Or get cooking yourself with the recipe for a healthy, typically Dutch stroopwafel, a recipe derived from her project STROOOP!, in which she dives into the natural sweetness of root vegetables. Start exploring, cooking, and fantasising about what we are going to eat in the future.
