Description

In this edition of Make, Create, Innovate, we explore an area close to all our hearts or rather our stomachs; food and how technology is changing what and how we eat. We first explore how technology can help with the growing problem of food security and sustainability with an inventor who has developed an innovative approach to help stabilize fish stocks. His nets contain special portals that attract undesirable fish and those from endangered lists using special wavelengths of light. These fish are then able to escape the net and help replenish the population. And we travel to Barcelona to explore how food-preneur, Marius Robles and his Re-Imagine X group, are re-imagining the future of food with everything from 3D printed meals to a nutrition paste that could replace our normal meals – using technology to change our attitudes and approach to food.
