future newspaper
future sushi box
in addition, japan is facing two large macro drivers: climate change and aging population.
we designed two artifacts from the future. a sushi box with abnormally large rice and a newspaper highlighting top food stories.
by experiencing the future with all five senses, how might japan navigate through this food (in)secure crisis. what strategies can we take on a personal, business, and policy level to satiate our desire for sushi? what can we start doing today to redirect this crisis? in addition, how might our food culture and value systems change with respect to these ongoing changes?
