future food academy experience

"Although I have been working on environmental issues for 40 years, it was not until I participated in the FF & FAO Boot Camp that I was able to clearly see how to apply my knowledge to practical activities to make my community understand that food is a problem as well as a solution to the climate crisis."
Amanda Niode
Manager, Climate Reality Project, Indonesia
"The most amazing part of this learning journey was Prosperity Thinking. I had always felt like I was doing my best with sustainability and food, whether zero waste or biodiversity, but now I feel so greatly enabled to take even more action in my community, local and global, whilst building resilience."
Radhika Khandelal
Executive Chef, Radish Hospitality, India
"Participating in the Boot Camp increased my knowledge on many aspects and about topics I had not previously encountered. I can say that I learned how to apply, in real life, what we covered during the sessions. I'm also grateful to have developed new friendships with the other participants."
Sarah Badran
Food Science & Management Student, Lebanon

prosperity thinking

Prosperity thinking is an approach that aims to enable the design of a better food system starting from a shared inclusive idea of prosperity that encompasses not only economical growth but also social and environmental well-being.

It aspires to be an evolution of Design Thinking going beyond user-centered design to human and planet-centered growth.
