Food Systems Leader: Monika Zurek

The goal of this action research is to support regional African multi-actor food system transformation efforts through the development of, and dialogue around, a practical guide on ‘Quality Criteria and Evaluation Approaches for Guiding the Impact of Foresight in Food Systems Transformation.

​​​​​ We will explore four questions:

  1. What defines the impact or added value of foresight work in food systems transformation?
  2. What can we learn from a diverse range of cases (where foresight has been applied and reviewed) on what factors affect how foresight interventions, scenarios, or ‘foresight seeds’, effectively land in the policy and institutional environment?
  3. How can foresight processes be proactively guided to enhance transformative action perspectives?
  4. How can we learn from experiences of monitoring, learning and evaluation of foresight in other sectors and disciplines?
