Description

This research explores the role of design support change now and transformation for the longer term in a way that is both healthy for humanity, society and nature: as it is nature that provides our living conditions and these are being devastated. This leaves in question the survival of humanity. This research considers an alternative industrial model, that of the circular economy as the basis to transition towards different ways of living and working. in this project the relationship of our foos system is explored as it has been proven that the current way we grow, process, transport our foods, as well as our understanding of what foods are beneficial for us and our environments in also broken: leading to high incidence of health related issues as well as some 40% of all foods grown being wasted: a monumental needless toll on our environment and out personal health. What we eat is directly linked to the health of our environments which support our lifestyles as we know them today.
