Ocean-Cookbook: Techniques and receipes for future life on oceansWith 71% of the Earth’s surface covered by it, life on the oceans is an attractive future option. A challenge will be the shift of diet. The Ocean_Cookbook explores all aspects of nutrition under saline conditions, ranging from DIY solutions to cultivate plant and animal life, purify water, up to preparing meals.

With illustrations, instructions and insights from the experience of seafaring people, adventurers and shipwreck survivors, our book aims to spark imagination. It offers an optimistic approach to actual threats: rising sea levels, salinisation of soil, and scarcity of fresh water are inevitable future issues.

The Ocean_Cookbook bases on an ongoing international project on the boundaries of art, design and science: Open_Sailing. They’re building a floating architecture, a lab for techno-social experiments towards self-sufficient, nomadic lifestyles at sea. In addition to its printed version, the Ocean_Cookbook will grow within the Open_Sailing blog.
