Future of the food system
In thinking about how 9 billion people can be fed sustainably by 2050, we need to think differently about the food system. This means considering more radical options for systemic change, in which a diversity of future visions for a sustainable food system should be recognized.
A crucial step involves finding out what different stakeholders across the food system regard as feasible or desirable food futures, and how they could be achieved, using a variety of participatory methods and stakeholder workshops.
