Future Intersections of Food, Technology & Culture | SXSW 2022

Few things are as deeply rooted, so deeply ingrained into our DNA and culture as humans, as food. Over millennia, technology has allowed humanity to make periodic leaps of magnitude in our food culture. Our ancestors used technology to revolutionize food systems by cooking with fire; fermenting foods; refrigerating; canning; freezing...to today's on-demand delivery of a mind-boggling array of possible cuisines and options, all from the palm of your hand. Join Andrew Zimmern, Emily Ma, Denise Osterhues, and Stephen Satterfield as they explore the intersections of food, technology and culture, looking towards the future.
