In 2018 a new restaurant opened its doors at Lowlands Festival: Brasserie 2050. In 2050 the world needs to feed an estimated 10 billion people. To make this possible, the world’s population need to start eating in a more sustainable way. The dishes served at Brasserie 2050 prove this doesn’t mean food will be boring or tasteless in the future, on the contrary. On the menu are, among other dishes, No Waste bread made of potato peels, salad Biddinghuizen as a local bread variety on salad Niçoise and steak tartare with 50% less meat.

The pavilion housing the brasserie was conceived by the spatial designers of Overtreders W as the barn of the future. A barn is a timeless icon for farming and has proven itself over the centuries as a neutral but recognizable envelope in which evolving farming activities can take place. In the future, the barn will keep on adapting itself to new ways of breeding and harvesting.
