At SXSW 2019, Land O'Lakes created The Copernicus Project as part of an initiative to start a conversation about the modern food system. The interactive experience was named after Nicolaus Copernicus, who changed the way we understand the solar system today by dismantling what people knew to be true at the time.
As part of its project, Land O'Lakes invited a range of innovators across the media, technology, food and more to participate in changing the perceptions about modern food production, as well as issues surrounding the role of technology, as well as health and food security.
The Copernicus Project featured interactive art installations, infographics, food web sculptures and panels discussing topics like "Does Artificial Intelligence Belong in Agriculture?"
