food insecurity — a city-level response?

TASK ONE

List as many of the current drivers of emergency food aid that you can . . .

Make a list! (i.e. don’t discuss whys & wherefores)

Use ONLY a green pen please — and write on the table-cloths provided

And what might be the future drivers?TASK ONE/cont

List possible future drivers . . .

Then group them in terms of where decision-making happens

use Figure 1 to help you think about decision-making levels

Use ONLY a blue pen please — and write on the table-cloths provided

What can we learn from other times & other places about communities & food?

TASK TWO

Combine your collective experiences to share what we can learn from other times & cultures

optional starter for ten from the here & now: school dinners, work canteens, takeaways, soup kitchens, allotments, Big Lunch, chilled meals, cafes & restaurants . . .

use Figure 2 to help you think about elements in our food systems

Capture as much as you can on post-its or A4

What could it be like ten years out . . .

TASK THREE

Imagine it’s May 2025. All our citizens are well fed . . .

What could be happening? Imagine . . . stories from the future . . . social situations . . . scenarios

This task is about possibilities — lots of ’em! — not about probabilities

Capture what you can on a new table-cloth . . . Use ONLY a black pen please

What’s important?

TASK FOUR

If some of these possibilities happen, what city-level social and connector infrastructures are needed? And what else in the city?

What do we stop doing?

What do we start doing?

What do we continue doing?

On an A3 sheet, list your ideas using a red pen under STOP, START & CONTINUE
