Embassy of Food conference | Table Conversation ‘24: Thinking big, acting small
The world behind our food is in dire need of change. But what is needed for this to happen? The complexity of our food system can be overwhelming, and often we feel trapped in established habits and structures that make it difficult to break the status quo. But what if we break down this complexity into smaller, manageable parts? What if we harness the power of creativity and imagination to explore new possibilities?

That is the essence of the design session Table Conversations, developed as part of the Embassy of Food, in which we literally bring 50 designers, artists and scientists and 50 experts from the food and agriculture sector together around the table. In small groups, we will work on 14 tables, each table focusing on a question at play within projects and initiatives that are already contributing to positive change. By sharing creativity, ideas and knowledge, we hope to develop new perspectives on the challenges currently facing our food system. This is an opportunity to look beyond the daily routine and forge new collaborations.
