GSS Preview | Hack 14: How can Art & Design make our meals greener?


一、承办院系School/Department host:

Academy of Arts & Design 美术学院


二、挑战主题Theme:

Giuseppe Arcimboldo, Vertumnus (Emperor Rudolph II), 1591

朱塞佩·阿尔钦博托,《四季之神(鲁道夫二世像)》,1591


三、导语/背景情况概述Background:

We are what we eat.

What you choose to put on your plate can shape your identity and have a significant impact on our planet’s environment. We have lost a third of the world’s biodiversity to monocultural farming. Meat farming is the leading cause of land degradation, soil erosion and animal extinctions.

This hack will look into how industrial farming erodes the planet’s carbon sinks; how antibiotics and agrichemicals are killing pollinators and larger species; how livestock farming is taking up more land, using and contaminating more water, and ask tough questions about the food we eat and how we farm it.

Our planet has plenty of food if the land used for farming domestic animals is rehabilitated back to healthy natural ecosystems or used for growing local plant-based foods. If, as experts recommend, we eat less meat, the supply chain will be different. In this case consumers can drive change much more immediately than through other environmental protection efforts.

Art can’t save the world, but art can change the world by changing people. As individuals, we all have a role to play. Compared to climate emissions or the issue of plastics use, there is a very direct link between food supply and what individuals do. Join us, together we will try to figure out how art and design thinking and ingenuity will find greener ways for our eating habits.


We are what we eat.

      你选择吃进嘴里的东西不但定义着你的身份,还对地球的环境产生重大影响。我们已经因为单品农业生产而失去了世界上三分之一的生物多样性。肉类养殖是土地退化、水土流失和动物灭绝的主要原因。

      本Hack将研究工业化的农业生产如何威胁着地球的碳汇,抗生素和农用化学品如何杀死蜜蜂和更多的物种。畜牧业如何占用着更多土地、使用和污染更多水。并提出有关我们吃的食物以及我们如何耕种等棘手问题。

      如果用于饲养家畜的土地恢复健康的自然生态系统,或用于种植本地的植物性食物,我们的星球就会有充足的食物。如果按照专家的建议,我们少吃肉,供应链就会改变。在这种情况下,消费者可以比许多其他环境问题更直接地推动变革。

      艺术不能拯救世界,但艺术可以通过改变人来改变世界。作为个人,我们都有自己的角色。与气候排放或塑料问题相比,食品供应与个人行为之间存在非常直接的联系。加入我们,在这个Hack里一同探索艺术和设计思维、独创性将如何为我们的饮食模式找到更绿色的方式。
