Fostering food system transformation by integrating heterogeneous perspectives in knowledge and innovation within the ERA

Descrizione del progetto

Una ricetta per sistemi alimentari gestiti in modo migliore

Il sistema alimentare europeo ha raggiunto livelli elevati di sicurezza e protezione alimentare. Attualmente, tuttavia, è sotto pressione per nutrire le persone in modo sostenibile. In questo contesto, il progetto FOSTER, finanziato dall’UE, fornirà nuovi spunti su come i sistemi alimentari possano essere pensati per essere più inclusivi e meglio gestiti. Il progetto costruirà una piattaforma online per diffondere le informazioni e le conoscenze più recenti, nonché le tendenze e gli scenari dei futuri sistemi alimentari dell’UE. Il progetto prevede anche la realizzazione di corsi estivi incentrati sull’integrazione di discipline affini e iniziative di scienza dei cittadini. Anche l’avvio di un processo di co-apprendimento con le iniziative regionali guidate dai cittadini rientra nell’elenco delle attività del progetto. I risultati di FOSTER saranno diffusi attraverso workshop e conferenze.

Obiettivo

The vision of FOSTER is to build a foundation from which a new Knowledge and Innovation System (KIS) for Europe’s food system can emerge. The current structure is insufficient to address the emerging challenges of nourishing people in a healthy and sustainable way. Key objective is to gain insights into how it can be built to be more inclusive and better governed.

FOSTER shall help to transform Europe’s food system outcomes and will achieve this by:
- building a FOSTER Platform including food system-state of the art knowledge, foresight by semi-automated Horizon scanning, trend and threats-analysis and new multi-dimensional scenarios of EU food systems to 2040;
- implementing the FOSTER Academy -including 4 Summer Schools- for integrating food system-related disciplines and citizen science to enhance food system understanding across the ERA;
- initiating and assessing a co-creation and co-learning process within six national resp. regional Citizen Driven Initiatives (CDIs), in which new knowledge, strategies and Action Research Agendas are gained;
- scaling out and deep CDIs solutions and approaches to other territorial contexts;
- studying different R&I mechanisms of policy support for mission-oriented R&I policy for food systems transformation, and analysing and ground-proofing them in each CDI;
- strengthening science-policy interfaces by co-learning processes with external experts and developing recommendations for food systems R&I policies tailored to different geographies and sectors;
- identifying the trigger points to help ‘unlock’ system lock-ins and support further dynamics towards system transformation;
- and applying reflective monitoring on all FOSTER’s co-learning activities to develop insights into how the KIS can be broadened from an agricultural-KIS to a food system-KIS.

To inspire adoption of FOSTER learnings, over 20 workshops and a final conference will be conducted; scientific position papers and policy briefs will be widely communicated.
