The Manna exhibition
How do you fit hundreds of litres of water into one bottle of beer? How many insects does it take to make a hamburger? Can we eat our way to sustainable development? Manna is a different exhibition about food, the environment and our hidden dependence on nature.
Manna is based on the latest trans-disciplinary environmental research and focuses on current and “urban" food, like hamburgers and sushi.

The goal is to show how the foods we eat originate from nature by using a visual, pedagogic approach to describe the food production system and the global trade system that we are all a part of.

For example, the exhibition displays a hamburger and shows that almost all of its ingredients - the tomatoes, cucumber, mustard, lettuce and the fodder plants for the beef - are pollinated by insects. The visitors are also guided back in the production chains in order to show how many hundreds of liters of water are needed to produce a single bottle of beer.

The exhibition´s main target groups are: - The general public - Students and teachers from late primary school and upward.

The exhibition is organised by Albaeco.
