Daniels alum and MArch graduate Jakub Dzamba will be the featured speaker at the upcoming event Future Food Salon II on Thursday, April 18 at 7 pm. He will expand on the ideas put forth in his MArch thesis "Third Millenium Farming. It's Time for Another Farming Revolution: Smaller, Cheaper, Sustainable".

Dzamba, who is currently pursuing his PhD in architecture at McGill University, is working on an approach to urban agriculture called Third Millennium Farming (3MF), that utilizes bio-wastes (such as grey water and black water) to grow micro-crops (such as algae and grass), which are then fed to micro-livestock (insects). The micro-livestock are humanely euthanized to create a new ingredient called insect-flour that is used by chefs in culinary experiments. Dzamba's work focuses on exploring how 3MF systems will change city and infrastructure design and make cities more sustainable.
