Tasting the Future: Hungry EcoCities Showcases 3 Years of Food Innovation at Dutch Design Week

Interactive session23 October 2025

Where art meets technology and sustainable food systems collide, remarkable prototypes have sprouted to rethink how cities produce and consume food.

At Dutch Design Week, Hungry EcoCities will present the results of its three-year EU-funded Horizon Europe programme — showcasing how artists, designers, researchers, and agri-food enterprises joined forces to imagine and prototype new pathways for resilient urban food systems.

🌱 Join us for a 50-minute interactive and inspiring session at Dutch Design Week and take the opportunity to engage directly with our partners.

From AI-powered digital solutions to tangible material prototypes, this unique art-driven programme has demonstrated how creative cross-pollination can generate real-world answers to today’s urgent food challenges.

Over the course of the project, Hungry EcoCities brought together:

Together, they experimented, collaborated, and created new visions for healthy, sustainable, responsible, and affordable food systems in Europe’s cities.

Core partners: In4Art, Carlo Ratti Associati, Studio Other Spaces, Brno University of Technology, KU Leuven.AI, EatThis, Mendel University, and FundingBox.
