ZERO HUNGER GAMES – HACK FOR GOOD HACK FOR CHANGE

  • Tue 05 May 2015 until Wed 06 May 2015
  • 4:30 pm - 9:00 pm
  • OFFICUCINA – FOOD INNOVATION PROGRAM – Palazzo dei Musei
  • Via Lazzaro Spallanzani, 1, Reggio Emilia

If food is a human right, then the ultimate challenge is to eliminate hunger.

2015 is the year that we verify which of the Millennium Goals set forth by the United Nations have been achieved or what is still missing in order to attain an acceptable result. For its part, the World Food Program has long since launched the great global challenge on ridding hunger, but where are we really?
Are we tackling the problem from the right side? Why not we play with various ideas to solve the problem?

Drones, sensors, sustainable packaging, social innovation, apps, big data, Internet of food, city farming. A healthy dose of creativity and brain racking is needed in order to find innovative solutions. Solutions like dreams that are could be feasible and attainable.  Because only those who think the impossible can make it possible. Together, we will think up solutions to produce and deliver food to those who need it in areas where climatic conditions hinder fertile lands or where political conditions hinder fertile economies. Starting from taking a look around our own world where often times the hungry turn out to be our neighbors.

WHEN?

May, 5th and 6th.
