Hungry EcoCities puts forward a high-level alliance between science, technology, and the arts, to effectively explore how digital technologies & applications can lead in turn to reduced food waste, more sustainable value chains, eco-friendly attitudes, and more ethical food consumption. How can we develop ways of creating a more healthy, sustainable, and affordable agri-food system for all? Hungry EcoCities, a Horizon Europe project will support and encourage artists to use their creative skills and technological know-how to contribute to new stories of food production and consumption which support paths to innovation rooted in resources regeneration and human empowerment. 

The work is around the igniting question: ‘How can increased awareness and technological tools impact a future where we use resources responsibly to produce and consume food?’

The current open call will select 10 artists, that are interested in exploring digital questions utilizing a mix of technology and art, and will work on artistic agri-food AI usability explorations, and is around: Humanizing Technology Experiments within AI breakthrough technology domains.
