Ideas Lab for the Future of Agriculture
OPEN LAB NIGHT: GREEN AI – BREAKING TRADITION, BREAKING BREAD
How can the food industry become more sustainable? Together, we’ll look at the production processes of a Berlin donut bakery and explore the exciting question of how the use of AI in the ordering process, and especially the interaction between humans and AI (human-in-the-loop), can help reduce food waste. Can you imagine that the weather might play a role in this?

We’ll show you how, in our research project “Green-AI-Hub,” we approach the topic of circular economy for food, including experiments with bread waste and models for citizen participation.
As part of the series with the Berlin Open Lab (BOL), you can join us to collect ideas for the future of agriculture! Immerse yourself in the world of design research and explore how old and new methods can help make agriculture and land use more sustainable. Together with young researchers from the Berlin Open Lab, you’ll learn how donuts can become more sustainable with the help of AI, or how to make fertilizer from urine. You’ll bring old salt extraction techniques into the present using 3D printing, explore the concept of a commons forest, and develop smart warning systems for the forest. By experimenting with seagrass, you’ll discover an ecosystem at the intersection of marine cultivation, research, and craftsmanship.
Cooperation
The Berlin Open Lab (BOL) at UdK Berlin brings together researchers and ideas from various fields to enable new forms of design. The Berlin Open Lab is an experimental space for transdisciplinary research projects at the intersection of technology, society, and art.
