Very much looking forward to attending and participating in this session!
The last of the grand challenges you list, Cultivating a Diverse, Equitable, and Inclusive Community, is a major focus of a session I’ve proposed, Creating Space for Open Technology Solutions in Support of Community and Regional Foodsheds. Some of the conversation I had hoped to stimulate there may be at least started (if not duplicated) at yours.
Perhaps the session I propose might be customized to build on the ideas and approaches you introduce in this session, looking at how they can be applied within specific communities and foodsheds. I was planning on at least partly grounding my/our session within the context of New York State and the Ithaca/Finger Lakes region, where I live and work. I was also going to introduce a new transdisciplinary “social technology” I’ve been exploring, Prosocial, as one potential element of a larger stack. I’m also planning on introducing “learning journey” approaches for creating greater shared awareness and collaboration across the food system, drawing on approaches like those proposed in the International Futures Forum Spaces for Growth publication.
I’ll try to post a slide stack on my proposal page soon. Hopefully you all can do the same so I can work on getting those dovetail joints measured and cut
