invited Coloriage to collaborate with John Cabot University’s Department of Art and Design on the AGRITHREADS project, as part of the World Food Forum 2026.
AGRITHREADS is a visionary initiative exploring the development of bio-based materials and textiles made from agricultural waste, while supporting small local communities in low-income countries.
John Cabot students creatively experimented with these materials, while Coloriage students transformed them into garments and accessories: jackets made from pineapple silk, bags made from fish leather and cork-processing waste, and more.
We were truly excited by this project and its rare ability to bring together technological research, textile innovation and the resilience of the communities from which these materials originate.
A special thank you to FAO’s teams working on innovation and climate change, and to !
