Call for submissions: Exploring regional and multistakeholder perspectives to implement a foresight on emerging technologies and innovations in agrifood systems

16/05/2024

We are happy to invite you to a new Call for submissions "From Foresight to Field: Exploring regional and multistakeholder perspectives to implement a foresight on emerging technologies and innovations in agrifood systems".

This call is being organized by the FAO’s Office of Innovation (OIN) in the context of engaging various stakeholders to deepen an understanding of the potential pathways of the agrifood system transformation at regional level.

The submission findings will contribute to the full foresight report, based on the global synthesis report “Harvesting change: Harnessing emerging technologies and innovations for agrifood system transformation” (FAO and CIRAD, 2023), and will be featured during FAO’s multistakeholder workshop "FutureFood-I Lab in action: Cultivating Innovation for Agrifood Systems’ Transformation" (June 2024, Italy).

The full foresight report will help raise awareness about importance of anticipatory approaches, as well as contribute to a global discussion about the potential of the technologies and innovations to transform agrifood systems of the future. 

The call is open until 10 June 2024

To take part in this call, please visit the webpage in any of the six languages (Arabic, Chinese, English, French, Russian or Spanish) to read the full introduction, and to download the background document and the template for submissions. You can upload the completed form online or, alternatively, send it to [email protected].
