Food Hackathon – results

On November 3 and 4, 2023, Stadslab Eindhoven became a vibrant pressure cooker for developing new and surprising solutions for challenges in the world of food.

Tasty, healthy, balanced and nutritious. Fuel for fit people as well as frying ones. In short, our food. We eat several times a day, but we don’t always think about what we’re exactly eating. Where it comes from, what is actually in it, how it grows and blooms, how it is prepared and what is wasted. The system of our food supply ‘from farm to fork’ is starting to crackle, forcing us to make more conscious choices. Choices about the effects of our diet on us and our living environment.
