Foresight and the Future of Conflict: Implications for Food Systems

Date

19th February 2025

Join Us for an Insightful Webinar on the Future of Food Systems Amid Global Uncertainty

We live in turbulent times. What some call the ‘polycrisis’—a convergence of climate change, resource pressures, shifting demographics, inequality, technological disruption, and geopolitical tensions—is reshaping our world. These factors create escalating risks and uncertainty in global food systems. Among them, conflict and inequality stand out as two of the most critical uncertainties.

Why Attend?

This interactive webinar will explore how foresight, scenario analysis, and simulation modeling can help us understand and anticipate the impact of conflict and inequality on food systems. By leveraging research and expert insights, we aim to uncover new ways to enhance resilience and prepare for future shocks.

Key Topics:

Building on the PhD publications of Dr Sophie de Bruijn from the University of Amsterdam, we will explore the following key issues:

  • Exploring dynamic and irregular drivers like conflict and inequality through foresight
  • Insights from research on how conflict affects food system futures
  • Strategies for integrating conflict and inequality considerations into food systems planning

Secure your spot for this thought-provoking discussion on critical insights into how we can navigate uncertainty in food systems.
