Food System and Modelling Design (FSMD)
ACTIVITY
As part of its research activities in system dynamics, a working group on food systems has been created. 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.
