Exploration of Cow Burps and Consumption of Edible Insects Highlighted in Lawrence Hall's Latest Exhibition
The Lawrence Hall of Science in Berkeley, California, is hosting a captivating exhibit titled "The Future of Food." This exhibit, brought to you by the 925 News website, delves into the science behind food and the evolving technologies shaping the future of farming, agriculture, and aquaculture.
The exhibit is divided into sections, each focusing on various aspects of future food systems. Visitors can learn about advanced technologies like robotic harvesters, sustainable food sources such as edible insects, and the role of microbiomes in human health. The exhibit also covers topics like bioengineering, agricultural robots, and the human microbiome.
For the particularly adventurous kids, the exhibit's gift shop offers a chocolate-covered cricket kit. However, it's important to note that the exhibit does not serve edible bugs for tasting, nor does it offer seaweed, oysters, or soybeans.
The exhibit is designed to be both interesting for adults and accessible to kids, with interactive games and movement-based activities. To further engage children, the exhibit includes information from Berkeley's program to work with local Ohlone people, adding Indigenous knowledge to the mix.
Sustainability and environmental practices are prominent in the exhibit. For example, a section focuses on the environmental benefits of eating insects for protein. The exhibit also emphasises the importance of reducing food waste and promoting sustainable farming practices.
