It also intends to reflect on how we must face the challenges of climate change, reduced biodiversity, as extreme hunger and obesity and the unequal distribution of food.

It is a teaser of the exhibition and also becomes a tool for every Pratodomundo to generate interest from new institutions in being able to receive this exhibition., which is already prepared to roam to other museums, cultural and science centers in Brazil and in the world ”, explains Leo Menezes, Content Manager of the Museum of tomorrow.
The exhibition is divided into five major areas: “The culture of eating”, that will show how our eating habits are globalizing, with intense flows, while market pressure is standardizing certain types of food, generating loss of agrobiodiversity; “New agricultural frontiers”, which highlights alternative locations that already produce food but will have to intensify that production; “Technologies”, on techniques to improve food genetics and nutrients and their greater resilience to climate change; “Health and society”, that addresses the quality of global diets, the importance of taking full advantage of food and alternatives for protein consumption, like insects, fungi and algae; and, finally, “Food for tomorrow”, where the visitor becomes the protagonist to solve some challenges for feeding an overpopulated planet.
