Play the Future Foods Innovation Game!

Crops failing, carbon emissions, deforestation – we’re constantly facing distressing headlines about the state of our planet, and we know that food plays a role in it. The future of food systems and proteins affects us all – whether vegan, vegetarian, flexitarian or omnivore. 

Which kinds of proteins would we eat in our future diets if you could design them to be more sustainable, healthy and inclusive? And how would you like them to be developed? If those questions spark your interest, then this game is for you!

You’ll take on a character and, together with others, design a new type of protein product. It could be cultured meat, it could be from insects or algae, or something completely different! Navigate the board, collect coins and decide how to spend them on different actions to develop your new innovation. Throughout the game, you’ll try to maximise four dimensions in order to ensure that your protein is developed in the most responsible way possible, whilst navigating any challenges which may come your way. Will you manage? Come along to find out!
