So how can novel foods help?
It depends…
1. What are the future social and economic ‘conditions’ within which a novel product could be brought to scale?
2. How will these conditions determine the
Viability Efficacy Winners and losers

Futures Thinking for Food
Systems Transformation
2019 EAT Forum Side Event
Purpose
• Engaging discussion on how futures thinking can help food systems change
• Share ideas on food systems and foresight
• Introduce Foresight4Food Initiative
• Your thoughts on how you could benefit from and contribute to Foresight4Food
Agenda
• Background to Foresight4Food
• Your interests
• Overview of food systems - discussion
• Framework for food systems foresight -
discussion
• Foresight4Food Agenda
• Break
• Open space discussion themes
• Take away messages
What is Foresight4Food
A collaborative global initiative to:
enhance foresight and scenario analysis capability for food systems transformation
promote better analysis and synthesis of key trends and possible futures in global food systems
support more informed, strategic and systemic dialogue between the private sector, government, science and civil society
Background
• Initial idea emerged from discussions during 2014 G20 when the need for a long term food systems approach was included in the G20 agenda
• Scoping workshop held in Oxford in April 2017 led to support for aForesight4Food Initiative and formation of follow-up steering group
• Follow-up workshop in Montpellier May 2018 to plan details of taking the initiative forward
• Interest and engagement from over 40 key organisations and platforms
• Pilot work on data synthesis, country dialogues and community of practice
Your Interests
• Have a chat with your neighbor
(5minutes)
• Who are you?
• What attracted you to this session
• What would you like get out of the session
• Briefly share with the room
Basic Definitions
foresight: the ability to judge correctly what is going to happen
in the future and plan your actions based on this knowledge
(Cambridge dictionary)
“Thinking through [scenario] stories, and talking in depth
about their implications, brings each person’s unspoken
assumptions about the future to the surface. Scenarios are
thus the most powerful vehicles I know for challenging our
‘mental models’ about the world and lifting the ‘blinders’
that limit our creativity and resourcefulness.”Peter Schwartz, The Art of the Long View: Planning for the Future in an Uncertain World

Novel food technologies at scale
– disruptive implications
EAT Forum 2019, Stockholm
Jon Freeman, Research Group Director, RAND Europe
12 June 2019
For starters…
• With your neighbour, please
discuss:
• What is your interest in the field
of novel foods?
• What challenges and/or
opportunities do you think novel
foods might pose to sustainable
food systems?
• What are some barriers to the
introduction of novel foods at
scale? How might that change?
We propose to use futures and
foresight methods to assess
how novel foods may be
brought to scale

The core assumption of the
study
Changes in technology in
the production base…
…could lead to improved
sustainability outcomes inside
and outside of the food system
But it is quite hard to make direct link from a technology
to sustainability impacts beyond the food system.
We propose to break these topics apart to facilitate the analysis.

Core Technologies: a novel

Enabling Technologies:
support the production system
e.g. LED lights for algal culture
Technologies of interest can be
analysed for impact and likely
uptake
Uptake
Scenario analysis explores the
scale and implications of novel
food uptake
• Futures scenarios allow the exploration of
different ways in which technologies could
be scaled, and what the beneficial or
challenging implications of those
technologies might be
• Workshop discussions with experts on
food systems and technologies would , for
example, discuss:
– How could diverse technologies converge to
support the food system?
