A workshop for Sustainable & Innovative Design through Food Traditions
Designing nutrients into food, tableware and food-making experience

Ozu cultural centre
Montealeone-Sabino, Italy

In modern societies, the experience of food consumption has changed over the last two decades. As part of the consumer society, food is becoming increasingly industrialized, and its consumption is re-distributed in a new manner throughout the day. Man’s complex and vital relationship with food is linked to the expansion of science, technology, sustainability, and design. Eating has been transformed from meeting a physical need to meeting mental, emotional, and health needs – from a function to an experience.

Whether in the design of food, packaging, or service, design shapes the encounter between users and food. This encounter can inspire a transformation of the current place and role of food in the society towards a better future.
