Experimenting with Alternative Food Practice

1. Map Current Food Practices

For a week, students keep a food diary in which they document the origins of all their food items. They also conduct research on the social, environmental and ethical impact of their food practices.  

​

2. Experiment with alternative food practices 

These experiments are based around different challenges students set for themselves, for example to reduce their food-related emissions, food miles or food waste to zero for a certain number of days. Students document their experiential learning and bring them into conversation with critical academic literature. 

3. Forward-looking speculations 

Students work collectively to develop future food scenarios, which focus on manifesting alternative food practices as simultaneously personal and collective politics.

4. Share-out

Student groups create final pieces to show the findings from their experiments and forward-looking explorations.
