 + 
 +During a day-long futuring workshop on the 27th of April, we sought answers in divergent scenarios with food as the main protagonistLooking for interesting historical examples, we asked what changes could be made today, what things should remain the same, and what could look different in 5, 50 or 500 years? By the end of the day several scenarios had emerged, pointing to divergent futures with signals in the present functioning as guiding lights or warning signsParticipants explored ways they could pro-actively contribute to the futures they prefer, while developing abilities to adapt to any future that might unfold. Together with local chefs, farmers and other foodservice providers, stories were translated into dishes, ingredients, tools, preparation techniques and serving methods. In a series of culinary prototyping sessions we cook up menus with dishes from alternate futures.
