Rethink Prize

Amid concerns that population growth and climate change could prompt a global food crisis, attention is focusing on new food sources that have previously been overlooked. I found Earth Cuisine to be an original and well-rounded project that embodies the shift in perspective typical of the circular economy, along with a playfulness and design sensibility that give it a mass appeal. They have already showcased some highly impressive meals at events, which I feel can generate interest both in Japan and overseas. I also admire the sensitivity to local issues. By identifying unused resources in each area, Earth Cuisine is helping to promote distinctive regional characteristics. I am very much looking forward to seeing what they do next.

Sur-prize-ingly Edible Prize

This project represents a bold shift in thinking by forcing us to consider ways to eat what we can’t otherwise use or consume. It transforms a social issue into a source of nourishment. Human diets have changed throughout the course of our evolution, and eating has taken on new meanings with the spread of civilization. Today we value safety and convenience, but we face social issues just as our ancestors did in the past. Eating the apparently inedible is an option that may not have been available to our ancestors. This project suggests how modern people who have grown accustomed to the comforts of civilization might look again to nature for answers. It definitely made me think.
