HELLO FRESH, thuisbezorgd, and Domino's app show up everywhere. These options seem perfectly convenient in our fast-paced lives and globalized world. While we focus on our studies and ‘feeding the world’, who is feeding us? Local farms and our family recipes or something ‘modern?’ Mainstream cuisines like Italian, Chinese, and wherever you think hummus is from (its Syrian) feature often on our plates. A standardized meal within minutes prepared by whom? And where? Or home cooking with a friend. Who's got the time? If you are what you eat, what does this mean for our culinary heritage? What are we trading for these ready-made meals?

Join our TEDxWageningenUniversity Salon as we explore and invite discussion on the challenges, opportunities, and potential pathways forward for food in our evolving world.

Organised by: Wageningen Dialogues and TEDxWageningenUniversity

Contact people: Suzy Rebisz, Simon Ritzer, Vivien Bernhard, Alessandro Wedeman

About TEDx Salons:

TEDx Salons are short events, typically around 1.5 hours, designed for a small, diverse group of people. The focus is on active discussion around a pre-selected topic. As a catalyst for thought and conversation, a TED Talk is first watched together. The discussion that follows is designed to foster an exchange of ideas and expose everyone to a variety of opinions and perspectives. This collaborative and thought-provoking atmosphere is the essence of TEDx Salons.

The event is organized in collaboration with Wageningen Dialogues, which aims to defuse heated social debates and bring together different stakeholders for joint action.

Seats for these thought-provoking discussions are limited. So sign up now! Speaking language is English.
