FoodHack Singapore: World Food Day Multi-Fresk
World Food Day: Multi-Fresk
Learn about how food and sustainability go hand-in-hand
Join us at our Multi-Fresk on food in October!
Partake in 1 of the 5 workshops happening all in the same space, as we unpack the topic on food & sustainability from 5 different approaches. For this multi-fresk, we have special guests on a panel with FoodHack Singapore, here to share with us recent happenings in FoodTech. Please note that each participant should choose only 1 of these workshops, which will cover the main duration of your activity.
When: 16 October 2024, Wednesday 6.30pm to 10pm (Please be registered by 6.15pm)
Location: Singapore Sustainability Academy, 180 Kitchener Road #06-10, S208539
Who is this for?
Anyone with a willingness to learn about the planet, environmental pressures, human habits and disturbances, or just a person interested in food!
1) Climate Fresk:
The Climate Fresk is a science-based workshop that aims to educate and raise awareness about climate change worldwide. Based on the IPCC report, it explains how and why the climate changes at the current pace and the consequences of its disruption. It gives participants the opportunity to learn a lot in a very short period of time for both novices and experts.
What to expect: Explore the topic on Food Habits.
The workshop is based on a 42-card game. Each card represents a topic, a cause or a consequence of climate change. As a team, guided by your facilitator, you are to find the cause-effect relationship between the different components of climate change. Collective intelligence will get you from one deck of cards to the next!
2) Biodiversity Collage:
Learn about the interconnectedness of all life on Earth. Thanks to a science-based set of cards (based on the IPBES reports), discover the fundamental interactions within biodiversity as well as the causes and consequences of its decline.
What to expect: Explore the topic on Food Production.
Learn about biodiversity by exploring a few key ecosystems
Play together with the cards and figure out the links between them
Get creative & Decorate to make the collage your own!
Debrief and brainstorm on take-home actions from the workshop
3) Climate Change Adaptation Workshop (AdACC):
AdACC is a workshop designed to integrate Climate Risks to your operations and give you the methodology for making the right choices together. The workshop equips you to take future-proof decisions and reduce climate change-induced risks. Though we would manage to reduce our emissions, global warming will get worse by 2050 for sure. So we need to prepare for it!
What to expect: Explore the topic on Food Supply Chain
Understand intersectionality between Adaptation & Mitigation
Learn a methodology to take the best Adaptation decisions
Brainstorm strategies to prepare for impact of Climate Change on food supply
4) Circular Economy:
The Circular Economy Collage gives participants a clearer understanding of the issues related to our use of natural resources and and to the waste we generate.
Which resources do we consume the most and which are most under pressure? What impacts do our consumption and waste generation have on those resources and on the planet in general? How can I contribute to reducing those impacts in my daily life?
What to expect: Explore the topic on Food Waste.
The workshop covers topics such as climate change, biodiversity loss, resource scarcity and pollution generated by human activities and enables you to identify concrete courses of action.
Brainstorm on how to better steward our food as a resources and minimise food waste.
5) The Human Factor Mural:
A fantastic opportunity to learn more about our human biases that prevent us from embracing change.
Why is it so hard to change?
Even when we are convinced that we need to, even when we have the means and the opportunity? Because we are human! Our emotions, biases, memories, representations, etc... are typical human factors that can prevent us from initiating change! But we can act and beat the status quo.
What to expect?
A 3 hour collaborative workshop based on a concrete new behaviour that the members of the group want to adopt (e.g. eat more plant protein, drink more water, etc)
We will start by formulating this one behavior we all want to achieve. Then, we will reflect together, identify and understand the impact of human factors such as emotions, cognitive biases, beliefs, representations, social norms, etc. that block us when faced with the need to change our behaviour.
We will finish our workshop with a reflexive challenge to boost our ability to change!
