Part of Dutch Design Week, this was one of the most interesting future foods showcased at the Embassy of Food. Curated by Marije Vogelzang, a designer who leads the food design department at Design Academy Eindhoven, the exhibition offers an insight into how food will be grown, processed, transport, and eaten in the future, and how farming systems could change as a result of food scarcity and new technologies.
The theme coincides with Good Design for a Bad World, a Dezeen initiative looking at whether design can provides solutions to the world's biggest problems – which was also presented at Dutch Design Week, in a series of panel debates.
Cape Town-based Studio H is inviting visitors to sample crops that have been grown with saltwater.
The studio worked with Salt Farm Texel – a Dutch farming company that specialises in salt-tolerant crops – to develop the concept, in response to global water shortages. The results include a range of condiments made from carrots, strawberries and tomatoes.
