FoSTr provides a country support facility for food systems foresight and scenario analysis. The country-led and multi-actor foresight process aims to assist national food systems transformation.
The programme supports the dialogue, analysis and understanding necessary for co-creating food systems of the future that are sustainable, healthy, equitable and resilient. Implemented in five focus countries, FoSTr also supports the global networking and knowledge sharing activities of Foresight4Food.
