Keeping your students engaged and excited is hard.

That's where we come in.

Attention spans are lower then ever and student's motivations are rapidly changing. How can your curriculum keep up with this pace while also ensuring high quality and engaging educational experiences?

Through OSFD, you can access international talent from different creative backgrounds to address various challenges facing the future of our food systems and to inspire change. We offer transdisciplinary and multimodal learning experiences in various formats including in-person and online courses, workshops, talks, and one-to-one coaching programs on topics combining food + creativity + sustainability of all kinds: Environmental, economic, social and spiritual. With over 25 years of combined experience in academia, research, consultancy, event production and food innovation, our founding team is here to bridge the gap between the industry, consumers, educators, producers and YOU.
