Dinner After a Decade
In March 2020, I'll still be in a Brooklyn apartment with close friends. We'll be eating produce we've grown ourselves on our rooftop garden or a local lot in town, and may invite other friends over who will bring produce they've grown; we'll share what each other does not have. Each of my friends and I might prepare a different meal; I might make vegetable paninis. We will eat all we've made and not waste it; whatever can't be eaten will be used to make compost…

Imagining a food future
I am a mother, a wife, an activist, a student of life.
My meals are not just about the food, but about the experience. Every meal is shared with loved ones, eating on-the-go is no longer vogue - meals are a time to share food, thoughts, ideas, questions, and more. In the past ten years improvements to the meat production industry worldwide has meant less of a burden on our environmental systems, but I and my family have remained vegetarian. The food we eat isn't that different from… Continue

On-Campus Farming
An NGO based in our nation's capital is touring the country and engaging environmental committees of different universities. Their aim is to explore the possibilities of utilizing university campus as a place to grow crops of various kinds.
To someone like me who has not felt the warmth of the soil between his fingertips since he was a small child this offers a most extraordinary opportunity to clear the cobwebs built during years of intense book-cramming. This is something we were… Continue

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
