Workshop – Food Futures. Hawaii Food Policy Council takes a seriously fun look at the future of our food. What role can policy play to influence our food system?
Have you ever wondered what the future holds? Dare to wonder what the futures hold? At this year’s Ag Conference, the Hawaii Food Policy Council teams up with the Hawaii Research Center for Futures Studies to develop Alternative Futures of Hawai`i’s Food System. Eat up these immersive tours of the futures set in year 2055 at your own pleasure...and risk.
What is Alternative Futures and why use it to think about food systems?
Alternative Futures is a creative approach to long-term organizational planning - an approach that places a premium on creating multiple scenarios that reflect the range of possibilities and potentials that any future may contain. Futures does not judge one alternative future to be greater than another but rather allows all potentialities their equal right to be...and to be experienced.
Alternative Futures of Hawai`i’s Food System participants engage with simulated worlds in very tangible ways (sight, sound, feel, smell, and taste) so that windows and doorways are available to step through and inhabit the possibilities of 2055. Images of the future help participants experience how things can and might be, creating literal spaces for every individual to form their own positive and negative impressions about the various worlds presented. From the positive and negative impressions, participants gain insight, participants begin to imagine a preferred future, a future that leverages the insight gained from experience to build a better world.
