Background
Cycling through 8 countries in 6 months while focusing on food, where it comes from, and sustainable production. This is Anne Pekelharing’s adventure through Europe to discover the stories behind different foods that end up on our tables. The aim of this project is to build awareness of where our meals come from, what it takes to produce them, and the people behind the process.
Life Cycle Stories is a road movie series that focuses on different countries and ways which they produce their food. Anne will visit various locations, meet different people, participate in numerous tasks to build awareness about good nutrition and fair, ethical food.
In collaboration with Slow Food Europe and Young Food Movement, Anne will connect with local families in 7 different countries to learn their secrets and gain in-depth knowledge of how to produce food that is sustainable and fair. An important aspect of this project is also to discover different reasons that inspire locals to produce food in such ways but also what drives us to buy and consume specific products.
Life Cycle Stories by Anne Pekelharing aims to teach, inspire, and share the knowledge since not all classrooms have four walls.
