The Compass for Change
How do you set the course towards a future-proof food system? Futurall presents ‘Compass for Change’ your interactive guide to explore food issues. This compass helps you navigate through the complex challenges in our food chain.
Spin the wheels and discover your role in the transition to a future-proof food system. Each turn reveals a new perspective on the issue, presents turning points for reflection and action, and provides concrete examples for how things can be done differently. Which course will you choose?
Our food system is full of complex and inrerconnected challenges. To work towards a sustainable and equitable food system, we can no longer separate issues such as waste, health, biodiversity, climate change, quality of life and social (in)equality.
Embracing this complexity, however, is easier said than done. Even for the most seasoned change agents, working within complexity can be overwhelming at times. Sometimes you get so deep into the process that you lose sight of your mission. Or you lose yourself in the hairiness of an issue, then you get stuck and it’s hard to get going again.
We created this compass as a tangible and playful tool that helps you navigate that complexity, building on the ideas and experiences of the many food pioneers. The purpose of each layer of the compass is to make space again: for a new perspective, for a different approach and for starting small.
This project is made by Studio Futurall in collaboration with Embassy of Food.
