A zine which brings to light sustainability challenges in our global food system, highlights nutrition problems, and proposes ideas on who we can each improve our own diets to become healthier for ourselves and the planet.
We often don't think about the food on our plates contributing to global warming, but the livestock industry generates a large amount of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane. By switching to more sustainable protein sources we can help to decrease the amount of warming that occurs. This was the inspiration to create a zine uncovering our complicated relationship with food, our own bodies, and the Earth.
To gain a better understanding of people’s relationships with food, I used directed storytelling and personal inventory studies to understand eating habits and the food people keep in their home. I also developed a co-design method with children to undersatnd how they view “healthy” food and used drawings to sketch the “feelings” they experienced after consuming certain types of food.
