Our Alliance is looking for a new food concept for the military when they are training or on a military mission. Your challenge is to design a concept that is sustainable and satisfactory for the military, and fits the nutritional requirements set by the Ministry of Defence. You are working on a real-life problem touching on the fields of logistics, sustainability, design, experience, and health.
