In a highly interactive week, participants engaged in a masterclass on foresight approaches, shared their experiences and lessons, heard from thought-leaders on food systems and foresight, and identified ways of strengthening foresight practice in their own countries and regions.
The workshop was supported by the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD), the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO), and the World Food Programme (WFP). Regional network partners included the Asia-Pacific Association of Agricultural Research Institutions (APAARI), the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development (ICIMOD) and the World Bank.
The Foresight4Food team has developed a summary report that features highlights and insights of the week-long workshop. The report features key messages that came out of the event as well as future directions and emerging priorities for the Foresight4Food initiative. You can read the report here.
