Changing the world, one meal at a time: Critical & fictional approaches in design education

This paper considers the food and design connection to imagine future foods through critical and fictional design approaches, as well as discuss the limits and potential of contemporary design practice. Using Design Fiction to explore food in communities, plastic environmental impact in food contexts, food waste and urban green edible spaces, students are asked not to generate answers but to come up with questions worth discussing as projects are developed and results regarding the academic experience are discussed.
