It is an efficient and easy method for collaborative work within your team of learners, with a project team, with a community to make sure all voices can be heard. One can use it for defining challenges, collaborative goal setting, selecting a preferred alternative, or deciding on actions.<br /> <br /> <br /> It is a structured method for group brainstorming encouraging contributions from everyone, which facilitates quick agreement on the relative importance of issues, problems, or solutions. <br /> <br /> Team members begin by writing down their ideas, and then selecting which idea they feel is best. Everyone presents their favourite idea(s); the suggestions are then discussed and prioritised by the entire group using a point system.

AESOP4Food adapted the method for sustainable food planning and applied it in the seminar and explicitly in the intensive workshop in Montpellier. It relies on observing, with empathy, how people interact with their environments and employs an iterative, hands-on approach to create innovative solutions. It is a human-centred interdisciplinary approach to innovation that draws from the designer’s toolkit to integrate the needs of people (desirability), the feasibility of the technology, and the requirements (viability) for business success. AESOP4Food adapted the method for sustainable food planning.<br /> <br /> [[File:7-JdVries-Design Thinking AESOP4Food IP Mont scheme 1.jpg|thumb]]<br /> <br /> ===Step 1. Empathise and Explore===<br /> In this step you start to understand the problems, needs and desires of actors, stakeholders, users to address best the challenges. By understanding the qualities, challenges, opportunities of the local landscape you will come up with good ideas.<br /> For this you can use the following questions: Who are the actors? What are their problems, needs and desires? What does the local landscape look like? What are the needs and opportunities of this landscape?<br /> Methods to be used are Interviewing / photo voicing / tiny demonstration office; using the empathy maps of the design thinking method, creating personas; performing landscape walks, make overviews by using the transect method, map the landscape mapping with photos, sketches, and notes.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Step 2. Defining Challenges and Goals===<br /> Here you make a synthesis of the observations about actors, stakeholders and the landscape. The team can collaboratively define the main challenges you need to address and the opportunities you can build on. It can help to visualize these on a map of the area or in a scheme of the food system.<br /> Methods to be used are Nominal Group Technique for collecting challenges, brainstorming for generating ideas, Power mapping for your main idea / challenge, Nominal Group Technique for collecting goals and setting priorities.<br /> You can use the ‘how might we?’ questions: How might the agriparc serve best the needs of those who are more vulnerable? How might farmers benefit from the park for a fair income? How might the landscape look like when agroecology is applied?<br /> <br /> ===Step 3. Ideate: Vision and Scenario===<br /> The vision builds upon the defined goals and selected scenario. It describes the way the food system and how the landscape may look like in the long term. It can be a written statement, where the main concepts are preferably illustrated with icons, images, and sketches.<br /> Scenarios can be explored using the quadrant method see section 3.4 and the lecture Michiel Dehaene: April 25 and May 16, 2024).<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Step 4. Prototyping===<br /> A prototype is the early physical representation of your idea that allows people to test and explore your idea’s spatial, functional and social feasibility<br /> You use the prototype to prove the value of your idea, get feedback, catch potential failures, learn from failures, integrate lessons into design and it helps to evolve ideas quickly.<br /> <br /> <br /> Important aspects of a prototype. Slide presentation Jeroen de Vries at the IP in Montpellier, 2024.<br /> <br /> Prototypes may have various forms: mind maps, games, AR/VR experience, Performative prototypes (role play), storyboards, comic books, modifiable digital models (street mix or Minecraft), drawings (section drawings, floor plan), or analogue models.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===Step 5. Testing and concluding===<br /> The prototypes are tested by actors, users, stakeholders who give feedback. You can understand better the actors. The prototypes should not be a draft design, but a concept for a focused interaction with users. <br /> Do not reduce your “testing” work to asking whether or not people like your solution. Instead, continue to ask “Why?”, and focus on what you can learn about the person and the problem as well as your potential solutions. When you cannot interact with the local community, you may use personas who do a role play while testing. The prototype could also be a game where participants can explore if the proposal fulfills their needs, answers to their desires.<br /> If it is a 1:1 model, or a scale model participants may also experience how it works.<br /> <br /> ===Conclusions===<br /> During the AESOP4Food project we used the phases of Design Thinking for the different phase of the course. During the IPs we used parts of the approach and in the third IP we made a skip where we clearly explained all steps to the participants.<br /> <br /> <br /> AESOP4Food adapted the method for sustainable food planning.

Katrin Bohn, of Bohn&amp;Viljoen Architects &amp; the School of Architecture &amp; Design of the University of Brighton, presents several projects and how mapping played a role in them.<br /> <br /> ==Food System Mapping Methodology==<br /> * Define Scope and Objectives: Clearly outline geographic and thematic focus. Ensures targeted and relevant mapping efforts.<br /> * Stakeholder Identification: Use power mapping to identify key players. Engages all relevant stakeholders and ensures comprehensive understanding of the food system.<br /> * Data Collection: Collect quantitative and qualitative data.<br /> * Mapping the Food System: Create visual maps of food system elements. Visualises complex relationships and flows within the food system.<br /> * SWOT Analysis: Conduct a collaborative SWOT analysis. Identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, facilitating strategic planning.<br /> * Analysis and Interpretation: Analyse data to identify trends and issues. <br /> * Developing Interventions: Co-design solutions with stakeholders. Ensures practical and accepted solutions through stakeholder involvement.<br /> * Reporting and Dissemination: Share findings and strategies. <br /> * Monitoring and Evaluation: Establish metrics for ongoing evaluation. Ensures continuous improvement and adaptation of interventions.<br /> <br /> In AESOP4Food, this methodology was applied for the Living Lab assignment to map Bucharest District 6&#039;s foodscape, involving detailed mapping and stakeholder workshops to identify challenges.</div>

It is an efficient and easy method for collaborative work within your team of learners, with a project team, with a community to make sure all voices can be heard. One can use it for defining challenges, collaborative goal setting, selecting a preferred alternative, or deciding on actions.<br /> <br /> <br /> It is a structured method for group brainstorming encouraging contributions from everyone, which facilitates quick agreement on the relative importance of issues, problems, or solutions. <br /> <br /> Team members begin by writing down their ideas, and then selecting which idea they feel is best. Everyone presents their favourite idea(s); the suggestions are then discussed and prioritised by the entire group using a point system. The ratings of individual group members are combined into the final weighted priorities of the group. <br /> [https://lnicollab.landscape-portal.org/goto.php?target=file_2220_download&amp;client_id=main You can find a presentation on the method, steps and possible uses here.]<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Design Thinking== <br /> Originally it was developed as a process to understand customers&#039; or beneficiaries&#039; wishes, needs, and visions. AESOP4Food adapted the method for sustainable food planning and applied it in the seminar and explicitly in the intensive workshop in Montpellier. It relies on observing, with empathy, how people interact with their environments and employs an iterative, hands-on approach to create innovative solutions. It is a human-centred interdisciplinary approach to innovation that draws from the designer’s toolkit to integrate the needs of people (desirability), the feasibility of the technology, and the requirements (viability) for business success. AESOP4Food adapted the method for sustainable food planning.<br /> <br /> [[File:7-JdVries-Design Thinking AESOP4Food IP Mont scheme 1.jpg|thumb]]<br /> <br /> ===Step 1. Empathise and Explore===<br /> In this step you start to understand the problems, needs and desires of actors, stakeholders, users to address best the challenges. By understanding the qualities, challenges, opportunities of the local landscape you will come up with good ideas.<br /> For this you can use the following questions: Who are the actors? What are their problems, needs and desires? What does the local landscape look like? What are the needs and opportunities of this landscape?<br /> Methods to be used are Interviewing / photo voicing / tiny demonstration office; using the empathy maps of the design thinking method, creating personas; performing landscape walks, make overviews by using the transect method, map the landscape mapping with photos, sketches, and notes.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Step 2. Defining Challenges and Goals===<br /> Here you make a synthesis of the observations about actors, stakeholders and the landscape. The team can collaboratively define the main challenges you need to address and the opportunities you can build on. It can help to visualize these on a map of the area or in a scheme of the food system.<br /> Methods to be used are Nominal Group Technique for collecting challenges, brainstorming for generating ideas, Power mapping for your main idea / challenge, Nominal Group Technique for collecting goals and setting priorities.<br /> You can use the ‘how might we?’ questions: How might the agriparc serve best the needs of those who are more vulnerable? How might farmers benefit from the park for a fair income? How might the landscape look like when agroecology is applied?<br /> <br /> ===Step 3. Ideate: Vision and Scenario===<br /> The vision builds upon the defined goals and selected scenario. It describes the way the food system and how the landscape may look like in the long term. It can be a written statement, where the main concepts are preferably illustrated with icons, images, and sketches.<br /> Scenarios can be explored using the quadrant method see section 3.4 and the lecture Michiel Dehaene: April 25 and May 16, 2024).<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Step 4. Prototyping===<br /> A prototype is the early physical representation of your idea that allows people to test and explore your idea’s spatial, functional and social feasibility<br /> You use the prototype to prove the value of your idea, get feedback, catch potential failures, learn from failures, integrate lessons into design and it helps to evolve ideas quickly.<br /> <br /> <br /> Important aspects of a prototype. Slide presentation Jeroen de Vries at the IP in Montpellier, 2024.<br /> <br /> Prototypes may have various forms: mind maps, games, AR/VR experience, Performative prototypes (role play), storyboards, comic books, modifiable digital models (street mix or Minecraft), drawings (section drawings, floor plan), or analogue models.<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===Step 5. Testing and concluding===<br /> The prototypes are tested by actors, users, stakeholders who give feedback. You can understand better the actors. The prototypes should not be a draft design, but a concept for a focused interaction with users. <br /> Do not reduce your “testing” work to asking whether or not people like your solution. Instead, continue to ask “Why?”, and focus on what you can learn about the person and the problem as well as your potential solutions. When you cannot interact with the local community, you may use personas who do a role play while testing. The prototype could also be a game where participants can explore if the proposal fulfills their needs, answers to their desires.<br /> If it is a 1:1 model, or a scale model participants may also experience how it works.<br /> <br /> ===Conclusions===<br /> During the AESOP4Food project we used the phases of Design Thinking for the different phase of the course. During the IPs we used parts of the approach and in the third IP we made a skip where we clearly explained all steps to the participants.<br /> <br /> <br /> AESOP4Food adapted the method for sustainable food planning.

Katrin Bohn, of Bohn&amp;Viljoen Architects &amp; the School of Architecture &amp; Design of the University of Brighton, presents several projects and how mapping played a role in them.<br /> <br /> ==Food System Mapping Methodology==<br /> * Define Scope and Objectives: Clearly outline geographic and thematic focus. Ensures targeted and relevant mapping efforts.<br /> * Stakeholder Identification: Use power mapping to identify key players. Engages all relevant stakeholders and ensures comprehensive understanding of the food system.<br /> * Data Collection: Collect quantitative and qualitative data.<br /> * Mapping the Food System: Create visual maps of food system elements. Visualises complex relationships and flows within the food system.<br /> * SWOT Analysis: Conduct a collaborative SWOT analysis. Identifies strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats, facilitating strategic planning.<br /> * Analysis and Interpretation: Analyse data to identify trends and issues. <br /> * Developing Interventions: Co-design solutions with stakeholders. Ensures practical and accepted solutions through stakeholder involvement.<br /> * Reporting and Dissemination: Share findings and strategies. <br /> * Monitoring and Evaluation: Establish metrics for ongoing evaluation.

This preparation will take around 8 hours but may take more or less time for you depending on your language skills and experience with reference studies.<br /> <br /> For this, you can start to make &#039;&#039;&#039;a concept map.&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> * Start with getting acquainted with what a concept map is. This may take 60 minutes.<br /> You can use this background material:<br /> Before making the map you can read this article by [https://cmap.ihmc.us/docs/theory-of-concept-maps#google_vignette Joseph D. Novak &amp; Alberto J. Cañas about Theory Underlying Concept Maps and How to Construct and Use Them.]<br /> You can use any tool you like for producing the map, the easiest is just drawing and sketching. If you want to do it digital you might use the following open source software for producing your map: [https://cmap.ihmc.us/ Cmap Tools] or [https://vue.tufts.edu/ VUE - The Visual Understanding Environment].<br /> <br /> Then view and read the following:<br /> <br /> * View the video of &#039;&#039;&#039;Cathryn Steel on the Hungry City&#039;&#039;&#039;.

Read &#039;&#039;&#039;Chapter 1 Food and urban planning - The missing link&#039;&#039;&#039;, page 18 - 32. This will take 60 minutes.<br /> This report aims to motivate city officials and their technical teams, urban planners, and related professionals to view food as central to a truly systemic approach, and to contribute to the understanding of the different factors involved in the inclusion of food in all urban planning efforts. The book presents cases and examples from all over the world. The introduction highlights serious challenges that planners need to address. <br /> <br /> * IPES-food: &#039;&#039;&#039;From Plate to Planet&#039;&#039;&#039;: [https://ipes-food.org/report/from-plate-to-planet/ How local governments are driving action on climate change through food.] Read the whole report page 1-28 and make notes of the main issues you consider relevant to your role and position. 120 minutes.<br /> <br /> <br /> * [https://www.ipes-food.org/_img/upload/files/tippingthescales.pdf IPES-food: &#039;&#039;&#039;Who’s Tipping the Scales?&#039;&#039;&#039; Briefing note].

It explains the mechanisms behind the global corporate chains which are more and more replacing or assimilating other modes of provisioning. This is happening in the context of deteriorating food and nutritional security, the rise of diet-related disease, sustained food price inflation, and supply shocks – where people need healthy, diverse, and accessible food provisioning options more than ever.<br /> Local markets can weather shocks and deliver resilience because they are rooted in communities, landscapes, and cultures, and because they empower diverse networks of people to deliver food sovereignty and food security. The report highlights leverage points in support of territorial markets. Providing appropriate support for these systems would allow them to deliver further benefits for food security, equity, and ecological health – reinforcing their role as the cornerstone of food security and climate resilience for years to come.<br /> <br /> <br /> * &#039;&#039;&#039;Finalise your concept map&#039;&#039;&#039; on sustainable food planning and &#039;&#039;&#039;note down questions&#039;&#039;&#039; you have regarding the subject. 120 minutes.<br /> <br /> At the start of each course we will have a Q&amp;A session discussing the questions.<br /> <br /> ==Phase 1 - exploring the field of play==<br /> &#039;&#039;Themes: Main challenges, Theoretical frameworks, Approaches and methods: PAR, living labs, analysing methods; Defining your position and values <br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;* Understands the concept of food systems in their cultural, local and regional setting. <br /> * Can explain the main concepts related to participatory learning and research and the role of living labs.<br /> * Can explain the main concepts related to sustainable food planning.<br /> * Is aware of contemporary challenges to sustainable food systems in the context of spatial planning.<br /> * Develops an understanding of the multiple dimensions of food systems: social, environmental, economic and spatial.<br /> * Can define her/his own position and values regarding sustainable food planning.&#039;&#039;&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> ===Session February 29, 2024===<br /> Roxana Triboi, LE:NOTRE Institute, presented an overview of the seminar with the main learning goals and Jeroen de Vries introduced the main concepts and the assignments. Damien Conaré, l&#039;Institut Agro Montpellier, provided insight into the field of play, looking back at the development of food systems and showing the impact of the current system.

The Long Food Movement report shows a positive scenario with a bottom-up approach that is empowered by civil society, in which each of us can choose a pathway that is most suited. The policy document for Agroforestry in the Netherlands shows how a multi-level approach can link niche initiatives to national and regional policies. Michiel Dehaene, Universiteit Gent, presented the development of the approach of an Agroecological Urbanism, with a set of building blocks that can be used as thematic entries for all planners.

She presented a research on the typology of various ways of mapping and the way these are used for transformation. Most maps were developed over a longer period, which calls for a curator for the map. An important conclusion is that you first need to define your goal for mapping and if it is a snapshot for analysis or a long-term map. <br /> <br /> Ana Zazo Moratalla, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos (Spain), presented the detailed mapping for the city of Concepción in Chili, which served as a basis for a food strategy for the metropolitan area. The main goal was to understand the food system with its food sheds and it resilience and the food security for the inhabitants. An important element are the street markets which provide 75% of the fresh food. The research analysed the service areas of street markets and supermarkets, the production areas. It addresses both the conventonial system and the local food system, with alternative networks.

<p>Admin: </p> <hr /> <div>=Introduction=<br /> This sustainable food planning seminar makes use of the learning resources which are available on the AESOP4Food wiki. <br /> <br /> <br /> Participants are expected to prepare themselves for each session by viewing a recording and reading the compulsory material.<br /> <br /> <br /> The seminar takes place from March 6 until April 10, 2025. Every week on Thursday 17h00 – 18h15 CET.<br /> <br /> [[File:Dates 2025.jpg|thumb|left]]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> Each session consists of a 30-minute recap of the subject, followed by 30 minutes of discussion (if the group is large this will be in self-organised breakout rooms) and 15 minutes outlook on the next session.<br /> <br /> =Study Guide=<br /> Before you register please read the Study Guide.<br /> [https://lnicollab.landscape-portal.org/goto.php/file/2695/download You can download the study guide here.]<br /> <br /> =Rationale=<br /> Productive landscape concerns the current problems of foodscapes, food systems, short chains, and food security. This seminar concerns the planning, design and management of sustainable foodscapes, integrating both environmental, social, and economic aspects of the productive landscape. It addresses the main challenges, theoretical frameworks, approaches and methods for sustainable food planning. It relates to the concepts of food security, food safety, food democracy and food justice and the way stakeholders and communities can address the challenges by participatory action research and living labs. It builds upon the work of the International Panel of Experts in Food Planning (IPES) and the Resource centre on Urban Agriculture and Food Security (RUAF). Subjects of the sessions are defining the main challenges, mapping and analysing a food system, collaborative goal setting, proposing transformative actions, developing scenarios, alternatives, and implementation strategies.<br /> <br /> =Aim of the seminar=<br /> After participating in the seminar, learners should be able to elaborate proposals in a collaborative way for the future physical interventions of a part of a local-regional food system in relation to its context. The goal is to develop adequate knowledge, understanding of food systems, to define driving forces, understand the planning process, decide on transformative actions, planning and design proposals. For this learners can apply the main concepts of sustainable food planning and the building blocks of an Agroecological Urbanism.<br /> <br /> =Competences developed=<br /> The learner knows and understands the essence and significance of existing food systems in a local and city-regional scale and is able to apply knowledge and new ideas in a changing social – economic environment to initiate transformative actions for making food systems more sustainable.<br /> <br /> =Activities by the participants= <br /> Participating in the seminar will take some 8 hours per week. <br /> The tasks consist of:<br /> * Viewing the recording of the selected lecture for each session<br /> * Critical reading of the preparatory material for each phase of the seminar<br /> * Participating in the recap lecture, the Q&amp;A session and the discussion, that takes place on Thursdays from 17h00-18h30 CET.<br /> <br /> Participants who want to receive a certificate for the seminar need to actively follow at least 5 of the sessions and give an online presentation of 15 minutes of their main understandings and findings. The framework of the presentation is available on the padlet that the participants use.<br /> <br /> =Session 1- March 6, 2025=<br /> Introduction on the content and organisation of the course, including a short intro on M&amp;E – LE:NOTRE Institute<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;Preparation viewing before March 6&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> View the recording and the presentation &#039;&#039;&#039;slides nr 23 until 73&#039;&#039;&#039; of Feb 29, 2024:<br /> https://wiki.landscape-portal.org/index.php/AESOP4Food_seminar_2024#Session_February_29,_2024<br /> <br /> &#039;&#039;Preparation reading before March 6&#039;&#039;<br /> <br /> * Tornaghi, Chiara.

<p>Admin: /* Agroecological Urbanism */</p> <hr /> <div>==Theoretical Frameworks==<br /> The course introduced participants to different theoretical frameworks that underpin sustainable food planning. These frameworks may include concepts like food system resilience, agroecological urbanism, regional agroecological food systems, food justice and democracy and multi-level governance.<br /> <br /> <br /> Agroecology includes the application of ecological principles to the study, design and management of agroecosystems that are both productive and natural resource conserving, culturally sensitive, socially just, and economically viable (Altieri and Toledo 2011; Gliessman 2012; Fernandez et al. 2013).

<p>Admin: /* Agroecological Urbanism */</p> <hr /> <div>==Theoretical Frameworks==<br /> The course introduced participants to different theoretical frameworks that underpin sustainable food planning. These frameworks may include concepts like food system resilience, agroecological urbanism, regional agroecological food systems, food justice and democracy and multi-level governance.<br /> <br /> <br /> Agroecology includes the application of ecological principles to the study, design and management of agroecosystems that are both productive and natural resource conserving, culturally sensitive, socially just, and economically viable (Altieri and Toledo 2011; Gliessman 2012; Fernandez et al. 2013). Agroecology is the application of ecological science to the study, design, and management of food systems. It also represents a social movement promoting the transition to fair, just, and sovereign food systems (Anderson et al. 2015:3 &amp; Nyéleni Declaration, Mali, 27 February 2015).
