MVPxFFF by The Center of Genomic Gastronomy ○ S+T+ARTS Residencies HUNGRY ECOCITIES

MVP x FFF is a Humanizing Technology Experiment by The Center of Genomic Gastronomy, collaborating with EatThis, In4Art and Brno University of Technology. It is linked to “Mega Scale”, one of the three directions of experimentation.
The MVP x FFF Food Computer is an AI-assisted thinking and tinkering tool for harmonizing the rhythms and culinary possibilities of Minimum Viable Proteins (MVPs) and Food Forest Flavours (FFFs).
The computer remixes ingredients based on harvest dates and user preferences, creating novel and delicious recipes that are ecologically-minded and nutritionally-complete.
Instead of trying to create one perfect approach to agriculture, this artistic research project uses artificial intelligence to graft together two visions of the future that are usually pitted against each other: alternative protein production and agroforestry.
But can high-tech, hyper-efficient proteins pair well with regenerative microseasonal ingredients in the kitchen? The MVP x FFF Food Computer connects these two complementary, but differently optimized, farming typologies through recipes and flavor.
Select your location and the date you want to eat, then add your preferences, and the MVP x FFF Food Computer will do the rest! But will it taste good?

HUNGRY ECOCITIES aims at exploring one of the most pressing challenges of our times: the need for a more healthy, sustainable, responsible, and affordable agri-food system for all. We do this through conducting Humanizing Technology Experiments and Paths to Progress Experiments. The HUNGRY ECOCITIES project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon Europe research and innovation programme under grant agreement 101069990.
