Smart Plate

by Sub Rosa, Design and Innovation Agency
"In the future, SmartPlate will exist to allow consumers to 3-D print the food they want to eat at any given time. In addition to instant 3-D food, SmartPlate will allow a health-conscious consumer to input their weight and see the amount of calories, proteins, fat, vitamins, etc., in the food they have printed. The consumer can also link their Nike FuelBand and social accounts to the SmartPlate." wearesubrosa.com

by Nathan Myhrvold, Author
"As 3-D food printing eventually supplants traditional agricultural practices, meals will no longer be hindered by the plant and animal structures that evolution happened to deem advantageous. Chefs will be liberated to explore radically new aesthetics through their dishes." modernistcuisine.com

by Edward Lee, Chef
"The food issues we face in the future will be shared globally, as is our boundless love for cuisine. It's not all doom and gloom, there's beauty in the delicate balance of nature, playing with fire, even in the austerity of a dry bone." chefedwardlee.com

by Wylie Dufresne, Chef
 "Breakfast is a staple. It never goes out of fashion. And I believe we are still in the early stages of understanding how technology—of which sous vide is an example—can help us be better cooks. Where it will go, nobody knows. But I'm looking forward to finding out." wd-50.com

How We Should be Eating in 2048

How We Should be Eating in 2048
Credit: Photo © Antonis Achilleos

by Michael Laiskonis, Pastry Chef
 "Because food is that most fundamental thing that binds us as a society, it bothers me that there are so many problems surrounding what we eat, who eats what and how we produce what we eat. My plate represents a multifaceted yet modest proposal to cure these food-related ills." twitter.com/mlaiskonis

"Meat uses up too much of the world's resources to produce. People around the world already enjoy eating insects (and everyone likes shrimp). In the future we may well indeed be eating (and enjoying) insect steaks. Then we will look back and be shocked that we ever ate cow!" theispot.com/parkle

by Philip Preston, Inventor
"The future holds greater use of technology to cook with high levels of precision and preservation techniques for the harvest. Pair this with diverse, sustainable, homegrown food. My local store sells one variety of carrot while my seed catalog lists more than 30. Nature's harvest meets cutting-edge technology." cuisinetechnology.com
