Beschreibung

A change in our food system is important for a healthy planet, design can ignite the spark we need for that change to happen. Food Design is only beginning to gain importance in the design field, though the untapped potential to improve the food industry with design is endless.

During this workshop, we will combine design thinking with a future-proof mindset set and apply this to the future of snacking. We will design and create candy bars in line with the specific needs of today.

Back in the days, candy bars were considered “superfood” when sugar meant energy for hard labour and still now candy bars are very popular but the ingredients need to be updated. They are incredible pieces of engineering but the high level of unrefined sugar and fat is not anymore the right fuel. Our daily activities are less physically intensive but much more mentally challenging. Research has shown that certain ingredients like Omega’s, antioxidants, high-fibrous or slow-releasing sugars from dried fruits are more efficient as a snack. It is time to reinvent the candy bar to be functional but also satisfying in these times and for the future.
