The Global Forum on Agricultural Research (GFAR) initiated at the end of 2011 a worldwide inventory on forward thinking activities related to the future of agriculture, rural development and farming systems.
 
 
The inventory has two main objectives:
 
  • The first objective is to develop a database on ongoing forward thinking activities in the framework of the Global Foresight Hub of the GFAR.
  • The second objective is to provide solid ground for the preparatory work of the foresight session at the Global Conference on Agricultural Research for Development (GCARD) 2012.
In this website you will find information about four activities:
  • Activity #1: An inventory of forward thinking in agriculture and rural development by means of electronic media (database)
  • Activity #2: Write workshops with selected foresight cases
  • Activity #3: A global report synthesizing the results of the write workshops and the inventory
  • Activity #4: Preparation for the foresight sessions at GCARD 2012
