◼ Talk on 〈Klimagourmet〉
The 〈Klimagourmet〉 exhibition proposes a healthy diet for everyone living on the planet.
It introduces brands that replace food that is difficult to obtain in nature due to climate change, soil, and ocean pollution, and find ways to coexist with other life forms on Earth.
In the Book Talk associated with the 〈Klimagourmet〉 exhibition, we will hear vivid stories of brands that discover the diversity and joy of dietary life for the planet and ourselves.
From Nature to Table
We tend to think that we can always benefit from the land and sea indefinitely. However, what we have obtained from nature may no longer be purely natural due to human greed. What have we taken from them? Through the stories of those who strive to make our soil and oceans stronger and our dinner table safer, let's find small actions we can take today.
