 +//Food Futures at Z33// 
 + 
 + 
 +=== Design Process === 
 + 
 +We began by defining the context for Food Futures:  
 +  The **region** is North-western Europe.  
 +  * The **focus** is on the relationship of food, wellness and the environment (including growing, producing, distributing, consuming, tasting and disposing of food).  
 +  * The **context** is a science festival, public understanding of science, looking at food systems and cycles, as well as infrastructure.  
 +  * The **timescale** is 0-60 years in the future.  
 + 
 +We looked at a range of change drivers or [[food horizons]]: 
 +  * categorised the drivers into STEEP (social, technological, environmental, economic and political) categories 
 +  * clustered the drivers thematically into "industrial, intensive and global", "small, slow and local" and "open, transformative and translocal" 
 +  * analysed the three clusters based on [[http://lib.fo.am/future_fabulators/scenario_methods#causal_layered_analysis|causal layered analysis]] 
 + 
 +{{>http://www.flickr.com/photos/foam/13604383535}}\\ 
 + 
 +Based on the drivers and CLA derived myths we created four [[food scenarios]] (using 'four generic futures' method of the Manoa School). For each scenario we designed a 'toast' or a short speech that would introduce each dish in the language of the scenario. 
 +  * [[food_scenarios_continue|Continue]] 
 +  * [[food_scenarios_collapse|Collapse]] 
 +  * [[food_scenarios_discipline|Discipline]] 
 +  * [[[[food_scenarios_transform|Transform]] 
 + 
 + 
 +The four scenarios were translated into a series of dishes, combined according to the [[:resilients/from_pan_to_panarchy|panarchy model]] into the flow for the [[latelab menu]] and [[future fictions menu]] 
 + 
 +=== Team === 
 + 
 +Concept and sound design by Nik Gaffney and Maja Kuzmanovic of FoAM. Scenario design by FoAM (Nik Gaffney, Maja Kuzmanovic, Michka Melo and Rasa Alksnyte).  
 + 
 +== Late lab Open Sauces == 
 +The event in Scotland was curated by [[http://publicartaction.net/|Amanda McDonald Crowley]]. Menu design by FoAM and Ginny Hunter of [[http://blueskycatering.wix.com/bluesky-catering|Blue Sky Catering]]. Sound design Nik Gaffney with sonic fragments by Stevie Wishart. produced by Mark Daniels and Roween Suess of [[http://www.mediascot.org|New Media Scotland]]. [[https://www.flickr.com/photos/chrisdonia|Chris Scott]] was the photographer. A team of volunteers from the Edinburgh science festival were our gracious table hosts and waiters.
