It will train people to become [urban foragers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rijnvliet). As its title suggests, it will encourage people to head out to their sidewalks and cook meals using what they find there. Conceived by the design collective Spurse, which is based in New York City, the Eat Your Sidewalk Cookbook has already reached its goal of $7,600 on [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cook-well). Now the team will be putting together this experimental and revolutionary cookbook. In it people will find [recipes, stories, guest writings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tasting-history-cookbook) and tools for action as well as fold-out diagrams, a pop out codebook and a stencil to use to spread the word of the Eat Your Sidewalk Cookbook. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 7% | Activity: 24% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Urban Foraging:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in urban farming technology and sustainable packaging for produce. - **Do-it-yourself Cooking:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in augmented reality recipe guides and kitchen appliances suitable for small spaces. - **Community-driven Eating:** Opportunity for disruptive innovation in experiential marketing for local agriculture and community events promoting food sustainability. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Food:** Innovative companies in the food industry can capture the growing market for sustainable and locally sourced produce. - **Packaging:** Sustainable packaging solutions for urban foraging can provide an alternative to traditional single-use plastics. - **Technology:** Advances in technology can aid in urban farming, including water-saving irrigation systems and vertical farming solutions. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Film-Themed Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scrounging-cookbook.md) - [One-Star Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/one-star-cookbook.md) - [Gross Trading Card Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-garbage-pail-kids-cookbook.md) - [Tiny Home Kitchen Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-tiny-mess-cookbook.md) - [Branded Pickle-Centric Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/grillos-presents-pickled-fresh.md) - [Culinary Comedian Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/foodheim-a-culinary-adventure.md) - [Student-Friendly Digital Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cookin-somethin-for-college.md) - [Accessible Vegan Recipe Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mission-vegan.md) - [Branded Tea-Themed Cookbooks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brew-bake-sip-savour-cookbook.md)
