Description
Summary:This cutting-edge series reveals the awe-inspiring future of tomorrow's food. With amazing innovations and jaw-dropping advances from around the world that will soon be on our doorstep - from future-facing farms whose crops never see daylight to space-age supermarket aisles and restaurants staffed by robots. We're living in a world where computers can give us brand-new taste sensations; where our burger is more likely to come from a petri dish or an insect farm than a field and where 3D printing could transform the way we cook. This eye-opening series will change the way we think about the food we grow, buy and eat - now and in the future. In this second episode Dara Ó Briain continues to reveal the awe-inspiring future of our food. He's joined by Michelin-starred chef Angela Hartnett, who meets a robot that can mimic all the moves of a top chef. Dr Shini Somara heads to Japan to discover if technology can beat willpower in the battle of the bulge, greengrocer Chris Bavin finds out if the British public will ever accept insects as an appetising snack, and Dara discovers how forensic science is tackling the billion-pound business of food fraud. This series will change the way we think about the food we grow, buy and eat.
