The Future Food exhibition is about the developments and issues around food that New Zealanders may encounter.

It creates scenarios set in the future based on current research and developments. Many of the ideas represented in the exhibition are interpretations of the future, and are designed to stimulate debate, rather than predict the future. Multimedia and interactive exhibits enhance the experience.

It is designed to be a user-friendly space where people can easily access the science behind food, the issues raised by potential future developments, and the challenges individuals face in the future. By using a futuristic scenario it encourages people to challenge and debate developments without fear of being wrong.
