The Next Bite is a speculative food pack shaped by today’s urgent food crisis predictions. It speculates that in 2080, advances in genetically modified food technology may lead to the notion of 'over-nutrition' and proposes using nutrients from human waste as a sustainable solution.
Future Food Pack
The Next Bite is a speculative food pack and futuristic food system in 2080 shaped by today's urgency on the food crisis predictions. The food pack offers a weekly rotation with two options: BASICOO, which contains an overflow of nutrients crafted from genetically modified technology, and POOCOO, made from repurposed excess nutrients in human faeces.
The Next Bite shows that advancing genetically modified food technology may lead to 'over-nutrition'. Most people only absorb 50-75% of nutrients, excreting the rest. Examining how nutrients affect faeces' characteristics, the project proposes using nutrients from human faeces as a sustainable food source, with the potential of use for design and construction materials solutions.
The Next Bite project becomes tangible through 3D software and specific parametric data. It reflects on individuals' food consumption patterns and habits, repurposing the relationship between food and human waste.

BASICOO & POOCOO
BASICOO is a scientifically crafted food pack with four flavours from Genetic engineering and nutritionally enhanced consumables designed for human needs; it contains four genetically modified flavours: Popping Tomato, Blu Salmon, Candy Rocket, and Jelly Rice.
POOCOO is a revolutionary food pack that repurposes nutrient-rich excrement into an edible, sustainable meal. It leverages the unique properties of the human intestine to meet daily human nutritional needs.
