The three main ideas that I proposed for my capstone project are; a food research foundation, a non profit foundation, and a farm to table restaurant + farm. 

In summary, a food research foundation uses cuisine as a medium for solving problems. A non profit foundation tries to tackle some of the world’s largest problems. A farm to table restaurant + farm reconnects the food on our plate to the source.

Although the topics vary, there are definitely threads that tie all three ideas together. Some of the main idea’s are…

• collaboration
• knowledge sharing
• food and its impact
• connection with environment
• social responsibility
• networks
• health and wellbeing

Below are bullet points of the feedback received after the presentation and questions to consider. These will be taken into account when making a final decision on which topic I will choose for my capstone project.

• will there be a specific client?
• how can this cultivate avenues of innovation within the food industry?
• there is an overlap between topic…is there a way to merge all three?
• how will this be a center of knowledge for food and food cultivation?
• what topic best defines what I want to achieve?
• how will I present such a broad topic?
