TEDxSalon “Food is Power”
Hello Fresh, Thuisbezorgd, and Domino's show up everywhere. These options seem perfectly convenient in our fast-paced lives and globalised world. While we focus on our studies and ‘feeding the world’, who is feeding us?
Preserving Tradition in the Age of Convenience
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 standardised meal within minutes – but prepared by whom? And where? Who still got the time for home cooking with friends? 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.
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 organised 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.
