CIBUS

ongoing art project of future food

Some future foods might help to diversify our increasingly unvaried diets and are crucial in helping to improve global food shortages.

We can’t live without food and as the world is changing - so is what we eat.

Food plants are vulnerable to climate change and and also to the expanding populations worldwide.  

In the projects CIBUS future foods, SEGES foods that thrive after extreme weather and BEANS Vivienne depicts a possible climate future.

Future foods are: Algae/seaweed, cati, cereal and grains for example millet, spelt and wild rice, mushrooms, seeds like hemp and sesame, sprouts and beans and pulses.

To correctly convey these issues Vivienne receives information and advice for this project directly from a senior research leader of Kew Gardens’ Millennium Seed Bank in Wakehurst.
