This toolkit is intended to provide planning practitioners and other food systems stakeholders with a step-by-step guide to the application of scenario planning for bioregional food systems. It was developed by the Institute for Sustainable Food Systems (ISFS) at Kwantlen Polytechnic University in partnership with the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy and the Consortium for Scenario Planning as part of the consortium’s annual request for proposals to conduct scenario planning research and workshops around the world.
The introductory sections outline the rationale for food systems planning, and for scenario planning as a method. A 9-step overview of scenario planning follows, illustrated with food systems planning examples. The toolkit concludes with reflections and lessons learned, and a compendium of useful resources.
