We live in concrete jungles. They are only getting denser but theirs a new “canopy” forming across many of the largest urban cities. The Urban Permaculture Farming Around the World lecture series will shed light on the movement. From rooftop farms to irrigation innovations to composting methods, we guarantee you’ll leave this event with a new perspective on agriculture and food. Friday, May 13 @ 6:00pm in Brooklyn.
One of our favorite topics has always been failure. We think it’s an underserved topic. When it is discussed it’s usually shrouded in successful stories that the “failure” was the catalyst for. We’re not saying we shouldn’t learn from our mistakes, we just wish failure talks were about the horrific and gut wrenching misshapes of our passionate endeavors. The learning from that is invaluable. This Thursday the Food+Tech Friday Fails event continues bringing these terrible stories to light. This week, Gotham Greens, Sweet Revenge and the former founder of Modern Farmer. All followed by audience Q&A so you can dig even deeper into the disaster. Thursday, June 2 @ 7:00 PM in NYC.
Where would we food lovers be today if we didn’t have a little something to sustain us between feedings? What would happen to us without that extra boost from a new recipe to keep us going when we run out of good snacks? Without that chef interview to calm us when we can’t get a coveted rez? Without that mouthwatering photo spread to get us over the mid-week, nothing-in-the-fridge hump? One thing’s for sure: it wouldn’t be pretty. This, my friends, is why we at FTHQ are committed to bringing you the latest of the latest in gastro-centric buzz. And why we’ve got nothin’ but love for our print-happy peers, the NYC-born-and-bred foodie mags that have been making waves in the industry: Cherry Bombe, Gather Journal, and Lucky Peach. This week, join ‘em at Food Magazines of New York, a night of discussion and drinks with the movers and shakers of these print powerhouses. Added bonus? Admission scores you some free mags, so make room on that bookshelf for some pages delicious enough to eat. October 20 in Brooklyn.
“Food in a box delivered to your home” seems to be taking the world by refrigerated storm. This month the Food+Tech Meetup crew tackles this $600B grocery business with panelists from both coasts. They represent a great cross section of the industry from vegan to sampling concepts. We’ve recently been in the HelloFresh, Plated and Blue Apron offices, so we’re as curious as you for this discussion. We’re wondering what happens when the supermarkets get into the game. Is a brick an mortar an advantage or hinderance? Wednesday, March 30, 2016 from 6:30 PM to 9:30 PM @ LMHQ
