Hello Silk listers, An interesting gathering around the future of food is being planned in Bangalore, on 15 November. Put together by the http://foodfuturecolab.com/ program, a collaboration amongst IDEO, MIT Media Lab & Target, the gathering will be a closed group of invitees including food & agri entrepreneurs, food scientists, chef’s, designers, food bloggers, food & agri investors etc. from in and around Bangalore.
The event venue is being finalized and I will update interested folks. Please write to me directly (at the earliest) if you would like to join these discussions. The event aims to reflect on the following questions (not limited to): · We know less about what we eat today? – How do we bring in more transparency? (Hand held spectrometer?) · How do we create access to the next billion? How do we manage the balance between the “stuffed Vs the starving”? · How do we understand and trust what we eat? What are the startups worldwide doing today in food (other than cooking and delivering)? · What challenges and opportunities exist in food / food tech in India? Best, Sharat +919980996628
