554. INFRASTRUCTURES 2. Food justice (Ireland/Finland). A talk with Katie Berns

Katie Berns⁠ is a designer and researcher from Ireland based in Finland. Currently, her research is in my focus area on Service Design for Climate Policy within the ⁠ICOS Cities ⁠project. In this interview, we discuss food infrastructures and understand her work on infrastructuring food waste activism. We talk about a concept for a smart fridge and a way of doing participatory action research with communities. This is the second episode of a series on Infrastructures. This is a series of 5 interviews to people based or coming from: Ireland, Finland, Denmark, France and the United States. The main focus is in understanding the possible role of design in infrastructures. This series is part of the work done for the EU project: IRISCC. Integrated Research Infrastructure Services for Climate Change Risks. In this project we will develop services using a co-design framework. Therefore, my main question is how design could contribute to the development of services? This interview is part of the lists: D&D in English, Infrastructures, Alimentos y diseño, Comida y diseño, Irlanda y diseño, Finlandia y diseño y Activismo y diseño.
