As part of its research activities in system dynamics, the ERASME Center has initiated the creation of a working group on food systems. This group is intended to support international organizations and governments (public decision-makers) in the design of their public policy and scenario modeling.
Food is at the heart of public policy and is one of the basic needs of a population. However, it would be futile to address this need without taking into account other challenges such as access to education, energy, water, and biodiversity. Food is therefore part of complex systems and, as such, must be approached from a systemic perspective.
A team of European and African researchers has been formed to address the issue of sustainable food and the mobilization of system dynamics. In collaboration with various international organizations and governments (UN, FAO, Club of Rome) it contributes its expertise in systemic thinking, system dynamics modeling (iSDG model), scenario and narrative design, and participatory methods.
This group consists of:
Arnaud Diemer (UCA, CERDI, France)
Derek Chan (International Livestock Research Institute, Senegal)Eduard Nedelciu (University of Bergen, Norway)
Ganna Gladkykh (SEI, Sweden)
Abdourakhmane Ndiaye (Cheik Anta Diop University, Senegal)
Maartje Oostdijk (Utrecht University, Netherland)
Matteo Pedercini (Millennium Institute, USA)
Henri Sourgou (UCA, CERDI, Burkina-Faso)
Nathalie Spitller (Boku University, Austria)
