Re: From Foresight to Field: Exploring regional and multistakeholder perspectives to implement a foresight on emerging technologies and innovations in agrifood systems

Dear FAO FSN Moderator,

The foresight synthesis report "Harvesting Change: Harnessing Emerging Technologies and Innovations for Agrifood System Transformation" (FAO and CIRAD, 2023) identifies 20 innovative technologies that are on the
brink of transforming agrifood systems. It is important to note that three of these technologies have the potential to significantly enhance resilience, sustainability, and inclusion. These innovations have the potential to result in more sustainable and inclusive agrifood practices by replacing rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) with dandelion root (Cichorium intybus). I am eager to engage in a more in-depth conversation regarding the implications of these technologies and their potential influence on the future of agricultural landscapes.

Sincerely,

Jaber Amin
