Generous Food Futures
Saturday 15 October, 1 pm – 6 pm, free event.
The day event was a chance for local people to come along to explore food systems, hear from local food producers and activities, as well as imagine how we can creatively use technology to build generous neighbourhoods and cities.
For starters, we were joined by Bristol + Bath Creative R + D to explore a fusion of thoughts, feedback, and ideas around connecting as a community to bring about sustainable futures.
For mains, the day included guest speakers, conversations and experimentation to help us explore how a generous city can be developed through thinking about food.
For dessert, we shared a banquet created by a local chef, ideas from the day will be digested into an experiment or mini prototype, which uses technology to implement a generous food system.
Guest speakers for the day included:
