The book (2010) ‘Voorzorg voor voedsel- en productveiligheid. Een kijkje inde toekomst’ (Precaution for the safety of food and products. A glimpse into the future) is the outcome of an exploration of the future by the Office for Risk Assessment of the Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority. The book lays out a combination of scientific and creative points of view to show which technological innovations are likely to become part of our daily society within the next couple of years. Besides that the book reflects on the question how to deal with the possible risks of these innovative products.

2. Scenario studies, photo/drawing-illustrations with B.Smeenk, ideas taken from the animations.
