The outcome from here is not inevitable but rather depends on the decisions we make today.
Disruption Dinners bring together groups of people to experience the foods found along each path.
The culinary adventure begins in the ocean in Asia for the starter, then moves across the grassland in America for the main before finally ending up in the jungle in Africa for dessert. Along the way, different dishes and drinks tell the story of a food system in transformation.
The overall aim of the dinners is to gain first-hand experience in the disruptive changes ahead, while having meaningful conversations on how these changes are impacting us and how we in turn can impact them.
Disruption Dinners take place on a monthly basis for small groups (informal, by invitation only) and also for a range of clients, including individuals and companies seeking to host impactful, immersive experiences for 10-100+ people. Previous hosts have included: Citigroup, McKinsey & Co, Actis, Pret A Manger, This is Spoken, The Nature Conservancy and others.
