An exhibit exploring new ways to think about food and our local food system Open Now at the Randall Museum in San Francisco

Food For Thought: Small Choices Big Changes, is an ongoing interactive exhibition exploring how we think about food and what’s going on in the food cycle right here in the San Francisco Bay Area. Developed in collaboration with the Department of the Environment, the exhibition situates visitors at the center of the food cycle-of grow, shop, eat, and compost— helping them to identify what questions to ask at each stop along the way in order to work towards a food system that is better for their health and better for the health of the planet. Designed for visitors of all ages with hands-on activities, tips and information to make better choices about food every day, from packaging, storing, buying and composting, the exhibition aims to inspire communities to make small changes that can have a big impact.
 
“The exhibit presents fun solutions to food-related issues that all of us can practice through small choices,” explains Marcus Wojtkowiak, Randall Museum Director. “Our visitors can explore produce from local growers, find out how to choose meals that benefit our bodies and the Earth, learn how to grow delicious plants at home, and discover ways to keep plastic waste out of our oceans. We’re hoping that kids and their families walk away with a better understanding of their connection to food and the food cycle, and how their choices can affect the natural world.”
