'Miracles of Feeding & Shame of Waste'


How do you feed a city?
Listen to TED Talk Carolyn Steel: How food shapes our cities
.


Do we value food?
While 1 billion of us are obese and another 1 billion of us are starving,
half of the food produced in the world is thrown away.

What is our relationship with food?
Instead of apprehension and ignorance, could we merge the dichotomy of the urban and rural relationship to food by appreciation and education.

What is the future challenge of food distribution?

Is it that food producers bring more food to market for more people, or, is it to enable people to have a more direct relationship with the food they eat.

How would the elimination of food waste solve these challenges and strengthen the community?
