Insight Foresight Institute (IFI)

As part of the EIT Food #ConsumerObservatory, we organised this week two very lively online scenario workshops. The observatory has been identifying general and food-related trends to explore future developments of the food consumption and agrifood ecosystem. Our scenario work builds on these advances and explores how the trends could interact and mould the future. In more specifically, our foresight work focuses on ‘Futures of food consumption and the agrifood ecosystem in 2035 in Europe’, specifically with regards to emerging technological opportunities for new products and retail experiences as well as to sustainable and healthy consumer choices. Two dichotomic dimensions were defined to provide a starting point for the scenario work (see the figure with some tentative titles) for exploring interconnections of trends and wild cards etc. and co-creating alternative futures. Massive thank you to all the participants for your contributions. The work continues now with crafting the narratives. Their implications to different stakeholder will be discussed in the next workshop, which is planned for September 19. In case, you are interested to hear more about our project or even participate, please, get in touch. #ConsumerObservatory #ImprovingFoodTogether https://lnkd.in/e53ipEuh Elena Santa Cruz Sonia Riesco Granja Durk Bosma Sam Mehmet Fabienne Ruault

The project 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗰 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗘𝘂𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗲 ➡ https://lnkd.in/eXAr_NYh explores how Europe can respond individually and communally to various possible future scenarios characterized by significant disruptions such as wars, upheavals, wildfires, floods, and other global challenges. The focus is on preparedness and resilience at the personal and community levels, considering aspects such as survival skills, deliberative policy competencies, and sustainable lifestyles. It also examines how Europe can be less reliant on external services provided by public and private sectors. This deep dive is part of the "European R&I foresight and public engagement for Horizon Europe" project which aims to help valorise foresight elements from R&I projects of #Horizon2020 and #HorizonEurope by increasing their visibility and the potential uptake of their results in EC R&I policy planning. There will be an exciting workshop on this very topic, and we would like to invite you all to attend: 𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗜𝗭𝗢𝗡 𝗙𝗨𝗧𝗨𝗥𝗘𝗦 𝗪𝗔𝗧𝗖𝗛 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞𝗦𝗛𝗢𝗣 #𝟴: 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗰 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲: https://lnkd.in/d_PCtpjG ⏰ November 22nd, 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM (GMT+1) 🎯 RSVP: https://lnkd.in/dssqQ7pB Florian Roth Kezia Barker Enric Bas Leena Sarvaranta Masafumi Nishi Emma Coroler Susanne Giesecke Ullrich Lorenz Susanna Bottaro Kubeczko Klaus Duncan McLaren Albert Norström @Sirkku Juhola Giovanna Giuffrè Jennifer Gidley PhD Erica Bol Tanja Schindler Maciej Krzysztofowicz Valentina Malcotti Laura Galante Donatella Casaburo Nikos Kastrinos Totti Könnölä
