BRUFO2050. Towards a resilient and sustainable food supply of the Brussels Capital Region
Research project aimed at diving into the analysis and understanding of the Brussels food system through an exploratory foresight approach. The project combines barriers analysis, scenario design and participatory methods, and is a collaboration between Sytra and Sfere (KULeuven).
Presentation
Brussels Food 2050 (BRUFO2050), is an exploratory foresight research project that gathers two teams with a history of collaboration and complementary experiences: Sytra (UCLouvain) and Sfere (KULeuven). The research is funded by the Prospective Research Call framed by Innoviris.
This three-year long project aims at diving into the analysis and understanding of the Brussels food system.
The project focuses on five key questions, each one addressed in a dedicated report:
- Q1 : How does the Brussels food supply system operate?
- Q2 : How sustainable is the current system?
- Q3 : What are the barriers of this situation towards a more sustainable system?
- Q4 : What can the future look like by (not) acting on these barriers?
- Q5 : How to progress toward a resilient food supply system?
Some key innovative points that are developed and implemented in this research:
- A value chain approach to discuss Brussels food supply system
- The representativity dimension in participatory and prospective process
- The combination of quantitative and qualitative scenario design
- A science – policy interface, proposed by Innoviris
All five reports are available below, along with three summary infographics.
