Climate Change and the Future of Food with Tamara Ben Ari

To complement the exhibition and residencies that form part of The Politics of Food, Delfina Foundation will be hosting a series of events including lunchtime talks and dinner discussions; performances around cooking and eating; film and video screenings; and ‘Food Fights’, a series of cooking contests and debates between leading art world professionals.

The Delfina Foundation’s very first scientist-in-residence presents an overview of the cascading effects of climate change on food production — and the effects of food production on climate change.

Global Agronomy — the science and technology of using plants for food, feed, fibre, and fuel — attempts to model the present and future of agriculture at a planetary scale, with special concern for environmental impacts and food security.
