Media Files==== Food Futures ==== Food futures is a scenario building experiment for [[http://www.sciencefestival.co.uk/whats-on/categories/interactive/latelab-gastrolab-open-sauces|LateLab Open Sauces]] at the Edinburgh Science festival in April 2014. We use futures techniques to look at how the relationship between food, wellness and the environment might evolve in the future. <html><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisdonia/13961003242" title="LateLab - Open Sauces by Chris Scott, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm3.staticflickr.com/2933/13961003242_264544522b_b.jpg" width="1024" height="351" alt="LateLab - Open Sauces"></a></html> //Photo by [[https://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisdonia|Chris Scott]]// === Design Process === We began by defining the context for LateLab Open Sauces: * The **region** is Scotland/North-western Europe. * The **focus** is on the relationship of food, wellness and the environment (including growing, producing, distributing, consuming, tasting and disposing of food). * The **context** is a science festival, public understanding of science, looking at food systems and cycles, as well as infrastructure. * The **timescale** is 0-60 years in the future. We looked at a range of change drivers or [[food horizons]]: * categorised the drivers into STEEP (social, technological, environmental, economic and political) categories * clustered the drivers thematically into "industrial, intensive and global", "small, slow and local" and "open, transformative and translocal" * analysed the three clusters based on [[http://lib.fo.am/future_fabulators/scenario_methods#causal_layered_analysis|causal layered analysis]] <html><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/foam/13604383535" title="Untitled_Panorama2 by foam, on Flickr"><img src="https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3717/13604383535_6d520eb0e4_b.jpg" width="1024" height="251" alt="Untitled_Panorama2"></a></html> Based on the drivers and CLA derived myths we created four [[food scenarios]] (using 'four generic futures' method of the Manoa School). For each scenario we designed a 'toast' or a short speech that would introduce each dish in the language of the scenario. * [[food_scenarios_continue|Continue]] * [[food_scenarios_collapse|Collapse]] * [[food_scenarios_discipline|Discipline]] * [[[[food_scenarios_transform|Transform]] The four scenarios were translated into a series of dishes, combined according to the [[:resilients/from_pan_to_panarchy|panarchy model]] into the flow for the [[latelab menu]]. === Team === The event was curated by [[http://publicartaction.net/|Amanda McDonald Crowley]].
