FOOD EDUCATION
The greater half of my work is focused on “food education” or “shoku-iku” in Japanese, which literally translates to “food nurturing or rearing”. Pointing to the fact that without proper food education, we cannot grow into healthy adults, nor can we experience living to its greatest potential. From agriculture, distribution systems, the education sector, etiquette and ritual, seasonality, and eating techniques, Japan’s abundance of shokuiku can now be unlocked from language and cultural barriers. I share these ideas and practical uses through writing, media appearances, programming advisory, and events.
