What is FoodCamp 4?

 

 

FoodCamp 4 is a BarCamp about the relationtship between food and the Internet.

In other words, it is an open discussion on this subject. Nobody invites somebody: everyone who would like to share remarks, thoughts or experiences on the relationship between quality food and the web is welcome!

How? Simply coming at the Italian Culturale Institue of Amsterdam on March 3rd and making his speech. And possibly, in order to better organize the discussion, writing his own contribution here in this page (which can be edited clicking "edit" above or writing an email to micvitale [at] gmail.com).

If you want also (or only!) to help the organization please email us at  micvitale[at]gmail.com.

 

Event details

 

When: March 3rd, from 10 AM till 19 PM

 

Where: Italian Cultural Institute, Keizersgracht 564 - 1017EM Amsterdam, The Netherlands

 

The questions we'll try to answer during this FOODCAMP

 

  • Good food on the Internet: is there any?
  • Italian a small farms and the "km 0" of the communication: is this the only way to preserve Italian agricultural biodiversity? 
  • Today it is more and more difficult to answer this simple question: Where does the food in my plate come from and how it is made?
  • Can the internet help the consumers to undestand that a curved zucchini has the same taste (if not better) than a straight one? 
  • Is it possible that the web sparks a green revolution?

 

With the overload of misleading or false information (ads, biased media, corporate sites or blogs), the customer feels to wander in a noisy labyrinth of choices and needs trustworhty info. 

* According to an IBM study, 74% of consumers are not satisfied with the available info and are willing to dig deeper and seek more data about how the food products are grown, processed and manufactured. And, by the way, why on earth IBM, the multi-billion giant of IT, is concerned with what people think of today's food?!?

We would like to discuss openly and without prejudice about this subject, trying to understand  where we are today, where are we going, and what we could do about it. 

 

 

Proposed Sessions

 

In the spirt of the barcamp everyone is welcome to participate and pitch. The only rule is that the pitches must last no more than 15 minutes. Beyond this time limit, pitches will be brutally interrupted! :-)

 

  • The "agricultural side" of the net: fruitful soil for the Italian micro farms (francesco travaglini)
  • add your speech...

 

Topics I would like to hear about

  • The real Italian food on the Internet: is there any?
  • Has the web 2.0 had any influence on the way we buy and eat food? What is next (if anything)?
  • How to communicate wine (and food) in the web.
  • Do Venture Capital firms like good food?
  • The relationship between food and the web can change the way we perceive, read and look for the information on products we eat and, why not, the we buy them, too.
  • add your desired topic
