Abstract
Food futures are relevant to the Sustainable Development Goals 2 of zero hunger, 3 of good health and well-being, and 12 on responsible consumption and production. Other than conventional food production, trends in food track the rise in synthetic food development. However, the consideration of future food should go beyond its production – one should consider as well, how and why of consumption. This paper presents a study that aims to apply speculative design to create future food using digital technology. A web-based Future Foods Creator app has been developed to test the use of digital technology to implement speculative design. The app was launched and tested by 15 participants at an exhibition as a proof-of-concept demonstration.
