D1.2 Interim Report. New Topics in Food Systems - Horizon Scanning Long List

FOSTER is a European Horizon Europe project called "Fostering food system transformation by integrating heterogeneous perspectives in knowledge and innovation within the ERA". The FOSTER project was set up to "build a foundation from which a Knowledge and Innovation (K&I) governance structure for Europe’s food system can emerge". We work on how to change, improve, and broaden the scientific knowledge base and the associated knowledge and innovation system (in and for the food system). This report contains the list of new topics in the food system, drivers for the food system and new framework topics for food systems that were found during a broad and participatory Horizon Scanning process in the project. The conceptual background and the methodology of the Horizon Scanning as well as a first selection of topics are described in this report. The topics are shortly outlined and will be part of the digital FOSTER Knowledge Platform (via website https://fosterfoodsystem.eu/).
