Do you know how a food disposer works?
60% of American kitchens have one, and food waste disposers are becoming increasingly popular in Italy as well. But what exactly are they, and how do they work?
Present food systems use a lot of energy for transportation and storage. Future forecasts of population and limitations of energy sources show that the current food systems will not meet the demands of the society of the future. Therefore it is important to take action and stimulate local production. In that way food security is increased and ecological footprint of individuals and societies is decreased.
Hið íslenzka epli is a substitute for the imported apple. It is an apple that has adapted to Icelandic circumstances. The recipe is based on the nutritional value of one apple and the shape is derived from the archetypal apple. The ingredients are all sourced in Iceland. The nutritional value of an apple becomes a system of recipes and the outcome is a new kind of an apple, which is an hybrid of reality and future vision.
