So you want to be a food futurist?
Want to be a food futurist? Help the IFTF Food Futures Lab map the innovations and forces of change that will make a resilient, equitable, and delicious future of food—use our field guide to the future to join us on this journey!
There are two ways to contribute ...
Find signals of change
A signal of change is a small or local innovation or disruption that could grow in scale and geographic distribution. It can be a new product, practice, policy, or technology. At IFTF, we look to signals as building blocks for imagining the future.

Interview an Expert
Experts are practical visionaries who are working in the trenches to make a new future. Ethnographic observation and interview can uncover the hidden meanings of emerging tools and practices, and they give us an understanding of the human stories driving change.
