We’ll co-construct and visualise scenarios for the UK agri-food system’s global context up to 2050, recognising that any research agenda needs to be robust to changing needs, rather than simply building on today’s policy and market drivers.

Alongside stakeholders, we’ll co-develop plausible pathways for scenarios, mapping out the route to net zero via an agrifood system that’s environmentally sustainable, economically viable, and socially just.

A two-day in-person and highly interactive meeting. With speed meetings, flash-talks, and rotating seating meals. We’ll discuss, debate and refine plausible pathways and the route to Net Zero.

We’ll run the Crucible two weeks before our scoping study call opens, to foster new collaborations. Submissions will not be restricted to crucible participants, but we will support participants, inviting them to present their proposal at the end of the Crucible.
