Foresight4Food FoSTr Country Reports
The Foresight4Food Food Systems Transformation (FoSTr) Programme has been working across Uganda, Bangladesh, Jordan, and Kenya to strengthen foresight and scenario analysis for more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable food systems. Here is a list of reports on FoSTr programme’s activities, impact, and outcome in each country.
The reports capture key insights, lessons, and outcomes from each country’s engagement, highlighting how participatory foresight approaches can inform better decision-making, foster collaboration among stakeholders, and guide pathways toward food systems transformation. Explore the reports below to learn more about the work and findings emerging from each country’s experience.
Uganda
The report presents the findings and process of the Foresight4Food FoSTr programme in Uganda, which applied participatory foresight and futures thinking to help Ugandan policymakers and stakeholders anticipate and shape the long-term transformation of the country’s food system. Through a structured process of mapping the current food system, exploring future scenarios, and mobilizing for change, the FoSTr engaged diverse actors to address interconnected challenges of food insecurity, malnutrition, environmental degradation, and rural poverty.
Key outputs of the project include the development of four qualitative scenarios based on critical uncertainties, like governance response and income inequality, quantitative modelling of different diet futures, and the co-creation of a food systems action agenda. The project also produced targeted policy briefs on climate resilience, food loss and waste, and obesity. The report highlights the importance of institutionalizing foresight thinking, integrating it into research and education, and continuing to support government partners in developing resilient, forward-looking food system strategies.
