Harald LEMKE (Keynote): „Foodopia – Global Food Citizenship. Eating for the future of the planet and our humanity“

Everyone knows, the ways we produce and consume food continue to ruin our bodies, lifes, communities and our planet. As a species, humanity face an anthropocenic challenge without precedent. Either we take the step to a new level of human self-understanding so that we learn to shift from modern ‚Fast Food‘ era to futuristic ‚Good Food‘ civilization. Or we risk our extinction in a dystopian future. We have to reinvent our eating within tomorrow. Hacking the present food system ‚gastrosophically‘, it turns out: humans could rely on their unique capacity to use sustainable, healthy, delicious and fair food choices in order to save human life on this planet. For this foodopia we should start to dream of a true, gastrosophical ‚humanity‘ that puts ‚good meals in good company‘ (I. Kant) in the center of daily life as the planet’s ‚convivial‘ future. The talk explains this neohumanist convivialism, its already existing or arriving powers, its agents and collectives of cosmopolitian food citizenship.
