WORLD FOOD DESIGN DAY 2021
Think like a sausage
“Workshop on sausage principles and how these can help to eat better in the future. The sausage is one of mankind’s first-ever designed food items. A paragon of efficient butchery, it was designed to make the most of animal protein in times of scarcity, and dates back as far as 3300 BC. Today, the sausage remains a cornerstone of our food culture. England alone has over 470 different types of breakfast sausages. Now, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), we are facing a serious shortage of protein-rich food. Meat, in particular, will be scarce. One reason for this is over-consumption: in today’s world, we simply consume too many animal products. Can we look to the sausage to provide a solution once again, and help achieve a more future-proof diet? In the workshop, we will create super quick future sausage recipes using history, culture, and design thinking.”
