HCI Supporting Food and Wine Futures: Fostering Community Resilience through Reflective Practice
Jeni Paay, Hilary E. Davis, Axel Munoz Rivas, Yvonne Rogers, Margot F. Brereton · 2023
In this full-day workshop we will identify opportunities for HCI to support the Australian and New Zealand food and wine industries to become more future ready while recognising and preserving cultural heritage. We will do this through examining practices and interactions that positively impact on community resilience. We explore past and current ways of making, producing and consuming food and wine, including Indigenous practices. Our experiential workshop will take place in transit (on the bus), on excursions (to townships in the Wairarapa region of Wellington) and in productive spaces such as vineyards. We will hear from industry experts in growing, producing and harvesting of honey, wine and other food produce. We will critically reflect on how technology can be deployed to support sustainable and resilient practices within these industries and communities in the face of climate change and other challenges.
