Discover the Future of Food: What Will Disappear from Our Tables by 2050?
April 9 @ 5:30 pm - 6:30 pm
As we look towards 2050, the landscape of what graces our tables is set to change dramatically. Are we ready to say goodbye to some of the most cherished ingredients and dishes that have been a staple of our culinary traditions for generations? It’s time to reconsider not just what we eat, but how our food systems are structured.
In response to the urgent need for sustainable development, Oregon is leading the way with a visionary approach to food and land management. Guided by the principles of ‘Smart Growth’ as outlined by the Department of Land Conservation and Development, and inspired by the groundbreaking Agenda 21 from the UN Earth Summit in 1992, Oregon’s regional governance system is pioneering a shift towards a more localized, collectivized food system. This initiative is not just about conservation; it’s about reimagining our relationship with food and the land it comes from.
Join us as we explore the implications of these changes. What does this mean for the availability of certain foods? How will this reshape the way we think about dining and culinary diversity? And importantly, how can we all play a part in this transition towards a more sustainable food future?
This event is a must-attend for anyone passionate about food, sustainability, and the profound changes shaping our culinary landscape as we move towards 2050.
