Foods of the Future Lab is a 1–2 hour immersive session that uses food — coffee, chocolate, mushrooms, greens, insects — as the starting point for genuine team connection and surprising, substantive conversation.
Each session is built around a single food, explored from farm to future, with tasting, dialogue, and reflection woven together into an experience.
Choose from one of the following experiences:
Coffee - We drink it every day. Do we know it at all? On the difference between familiarity and understanding — and what else we assume we know simply because it's close to us. Includes a tasting of coffees of the future.
Chocolate - The supply chain is invisible. By design. On wilful blindness, the comfort of not knowing, and what becomes possible when we choose to look. Includes a tasting of future cacao innovations.
Mushrooms - Value grows where we stop looking. On inclusion, unexpected conditions, and what a city worth living in actually requires. Includes a harvest tasting of mushroom delicacies. The offsite experience at a local farm is capped at 25pax.
Greens - A carpark. Then a farm. What changed? On constraints as invitations, and the assumptions we make about where possibility lives. Includes a tasting of local greens. The offsite experience at a local farm is capped at 25pax.
Insects [Signature Experience] - Nutritionally superior. Environmentally better. Most people still won't try them. Sound familiar? On the gap between knowing and doing — and what transformation actually demands of us. Includes a tasting of up to 7 different savoury and sweet (insect) snacks.
