DESCRIPTION:Thinking about the future of food systems is fraught with unce
 rtainty. Food systems are large\, complex and dynamic\; they are strongly 
 interdependent on other dynamic systems. Yet\, it is essential that\, give
 n rising populations\, changing diets\, climate change and the food-energy
 -water nexus\, we think about how food systems can sustainably meet future
  needs\, become more resilient\, and work towards this aspiration.  \n\nSo
  how do we deal with this uncertainty? In this final lecture of the IFSTAL
  series\, we hear from three academics who have been grappling with this q
 uestion in different ways. Professor Charles Godfray chaired the Lead Expe
 rt Group of the Foresight Project on the Future of Food which published it
 s landmark report in 2011. Food system challenges were explored and the im
 plications for policy making examined\, concluding that ‘nothing less is
  required that a redesign of the whole food system to bring sustainability
  to the fore’. Dr Monika Zurek has extensive experience of using scenari
 os as a way to systematically think through uncertainty in future food sys
 tems – she is currently doing so in relation to food and nutrition secur
 ity for Europe. Previously she has been lead author on large assessment re
 ports – IPCC \, IAASTD and Millennium Ecosystem Assessments – dealing 
 with uncertainty and futures. Dr Joost Vervoort also has extensive experie
 nce of using scenarios at the food science-policy interface. Keen to push 
 the potential for scenario exploration further\, he is now looking at how 
 gaming\, role playing and simulation can help more creatively explore poss
 ible food futures and how we get there.    \n\nSpeakers:\nProfessor Charle
 s Godfray (University of Oxford)\, Dr Monika Zurek (University of Oxford)\
