NEMO Science Museum / NNN — Future Food Exhibition
Chloé Rutzerveld
Late 2018 Rich Dust read a very interesting article by food designer Chloé Rutzerveld in design magazine ‘Dude’. Chloé spoke about new ways of producing and consuming food that would have a positive impact on our world. Her idea was to create an easily accessible and friendly environment where people could discover, smell, taste and experiment with new food and future food alternatives. TIme to send her an email. Let’s see if we can shape this wonderful Future Food World together!
Positive reaction. Three months later we presented the result: The NEMO / NNN Future Food Exhibition.
NEMO Science Museum / NNN — Spatial design
Exhibition entrance
The world’s population is growing exponentially: 10 billion people by 2050. We will have to transform what we eat and how we produce our food in order to maintain our planet. Enter to see new forms of nutrition and innovative ways to produce new future foods that scientists, farmers, companies and designers are already developing.
New Food Ways
Find out about the latest inventions, ideas and visions for the future. Which of today’s ingredients we may soon produce in new ways. Will we really eat hamburgers made of cultured meat? Will we actually drink milk from a robot cow? Or will we be mixing powders based on our DNA profile?
Rich Dust created the main personality for the Future Food Exhibition. It is an interesting and fascinating creature — a life form created out of animal, plant- and functional based foods. — It’s the exhibition guide. It informs. It tells you about future food developments and points out future food challenges. Its open mouth literally draws visitors into the stomach, that contains all Future Food information.

The tables show you exciting existing food, future food and future food ideas and systems. Feeling, touching and tasting is allowed. Taste visualized through touch. 3D printed matter that taste like chocolate. Food powders with all basic ingredients humans need. A tasteful, sensory future food experience. Which way do you think we should be heading?

Future Food Formula Lab; Step into the shoes of a high-tech farmer and design your own growth recipe. Meat the Future Lab; What do we want cultured meat to taste, smell and look like?
Future Food Scenario
In the exhibition you get introduced to as many scenarios for tomorrow’s food as possible. Examining food made in a laboratory, local food and various scenarios for (animal) proteins. Which future scenario do you think will work to save our beautiful planet?
