Future of food: burgers…or bugs?
18th May 2016 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
SILO Restaurant, 39 Upper Gardner Street
Brighton, UK
How and what we eat, the journey it’s been through and how much is left is over has a huge impact on the world’s resources. With population growth, climate change, diet-related diseases and huge inequality in the food system, do we need to take a fresh look at what’s on our plate?
From eating edible insects, to algae or lab-cultured meat, to developing local, small-scale farming and tackling waste reduction, how can we adapt and what will be the future of food? Come discuss and taste some bugs! At Brighton’s zero-waste restaurant, SILO. The event includes contributions from STEPS members Dominic Glover and Erik Millstone.
