Participatory foresight study on Amazonian food systems, analyzing key topics and trends for the next decades.

While we cannot change the past, we do have the capacity to forge a different future in the Amazon. This study seeks to shed light on food systems in the Amazon region: how they are understood, who participates in them and the dynamics that affect them. It also presents the results of a participatory exercise in which key actors in the region devised future scenarios, generating narratives for discussion and identification of possible action points. 

Our aim is to identify a path towards a more resilient future for Amazonian food systems, to ensure that they can meet the challenges of the future and continue to be a vital source of livelihoods for present and future generations.
