Laboratory of ideas for the future of agriculture

In this series with the Berlin Open Lab (BOL), you can gather ideas for the future of agriculture! Dive into the world of design research and explore how old and new methods can contribute to making agriculture and land use more sustainable.



Together with young researchers from the Berlin Open Lab, you'll learn how to make donuts more sustainable with the help of AI or make fertilizer from urine. You'll bring ancient salt production techniques into the present with 3D printing, explore the concept of a commons forest, and develop smart warning systems for the forest. While experimenting with seaweed, you'll discover an ecosystem that combines marine agriculture, research, and craftsmanship.


How can the food industry become more sustainable? Participants will examine the production processes of a Berlin donut bakery and explore the exciting question of how the use of AI in the ordering process, and especially the interaction between humans and AI (human-in-the-loop), can help prevent food waste. Can you imagine that the weather has something to do with this?


It will demonstrate how the research project "Green-AI-Hub" approaches the topic of circular food management, including experiments with bread waste and models for citizen participation.


Collaboration

The Berlin Open Lab (BOL) at the UdK Berlin brings together researchers and ideas from various fields to enable new forms of design. The Berlin Open Lab is an experimental space for transdisciplinary research projects at the interface of technology, society, and art.
