Hungry EcoCities puts forward a high-level alliance between science, technology, and the arts, to effectively explore how digital technologies & applications can lead in turn to reduced food waste, more sustainable value chains, eco-friendly attitudes, and more ethical food consumption.
How can we develop ways of creating a more healthy, sustainable, and affordable agri-food system for all ?
In Hungry EcoCities, studios, universities, growers, and agricultural specialists team up with, artists and creative thinkers to come up with new ideas for the future food system. Hungry EcoCities will host up to 20 S+T+ARTS residencies and will be working towards defining, designing, and developing AI-enabled responsible, art-driven solutions for the end-users in the agri-food industries.
The first open call selected 10 artists, that are interested in exploring digital questions utilizing a mix of technology and art, and will work on artistic agri-food AI usability explorations.
The second open call will select up to 10 industrial end-user/SMEs from the agri-food sector and up to 10 artists that jointly will work on AI enabled use scenario prototypes and awareness-raising artworks that (1) make the food chain more transparent, inclusive, and sustainable, (2) build connections between different stakeholders in the food chain and, (3) promote more informed and sustainable consumption patterns.
