Food for Thought

Where does your food come from?

We’ve grown used to well-stocked shelves and a range of choices in our shops. Green beans from Kenya, avocados from Peru and strawberries in winter. This abundance is enabled by a complex worldwide system in which the Netherlands - as second largest exporter of agragrian products - plays a key role. In the multimedia exhibition Food for Thought - on show at The National Maritime Museum from 3 November onwards - photographer and filmmaker Kadir van Lohuizen investigates the world behind the food on your plate. Where does our food come from? Where does it go? What role do shipping and the Netherlands play in the global food system?
