## Resource

How can we combine science, art and technology to build a more sustainable food system? How can artificial intelligence be used in this process? Is art threatened by AI or can technology be used as a tool to achieve something out of the ordinary? The episode of today is mind-blowing. I have interviewed a lot of activists in the past and seen so many initiatives, but if I can be totally open to you: this time I experienced something completely out of the ordinary. I am talking about Hungry Eco-Cities. Hungry Eco-cities combine science, technology, and the arts, to 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. I had the chance to interview in person in Rotterdam Lija Groenewoud van Vliet, Creative Director at In4Art and co-coördinator Hungry EcoCities, as well as some of the artists involved in the project. Host & Production: Valentina GrittiGuests: Lija Groenewoud van Vliet (in4art), Laila Snevere (Phygital Seasoning), Jeroen Van Der Most (Vegetable Vendetta), Nicolas Rotta and InstaGreen (Re-Source Society) Useful links: - Hungry Ecocities: https://starts.eu/hungryecocities/- HEClab platform: https://heclab.eu/landing-page This episode is part of the podcast series "Tomorrow's Table: rethinking food as we know it" co-produced by Slow Food Youth Network and ICONS for the EU-funded CLEVERFOOD project.
