First Results in the Development Process of Transformation Scenarios
We’re excited to share the results of our first Practice Council Workshop on developing a biodiversity-friendly agri-food and land-use system, namely the target vision. (We previously reported on the meeting in our article: Blühende Fantasie gefragt).
A shared Target Vision for Transformation
Through a collaborative process, the Practice Council formulated a target vision for the transformation of our agricultural and food systems. This target vision serves as a foundation for developing future-oriented scenarios and was defined by using the Three Horizons Framework (Scharpe et al., 2016).
Our Four-Step Approach
Understanding the Current System
Participants identified and categorized signs that our current agricultural and food systems are not yet biodiversity-friendly.
Key drivers and influencing factors were then analyzed.
Recognizing Valuable Elements
Participants discussed which existing ideas, structures, and processes should be preserved in a future system.
Imagining a Biodiversity-Friendly Future
In small groups, participants explored desirable features of a biodiversity-friendly agri-food system.
Refining the Vision
After presenting group results, participants examined interconnections, potential conflicts, and key considerations for shaping the final target vision.
