Il Prosperity Thinking è un approccio metodologico che mira a progettare un mondo in grado di soddisfare i bisogni di tutti gli esseri, rimanendo entro i limiti ecologici del pianeta. Questo concetto si spinge oltre il più tradizionale approccio del design thinking, mettendo il pianeta al centro. Il Prosperity Thinking si propone di consentire la progettazione di un sistema alimentare migliore partendo da un’idea di prosperità condivisa e inclusiva, che comprenda non solo la crescita economica, ma anche il benessere sociale e ambientale. Pensare in ottica di prosperità significa che possiamo prosperare, così come la nostra economia o la nostra attività, solo se prospera anche il pianeta. Questo modulo si concentra sulla metodologia del Prosperity Thinking per i sistemi alimentari del futuro, sul Future Thinking e sul Foresight per la rigenerazione, sul Values Thinking e sui comportamenti alimentari. In questo modulo, i partecipanti acquisiranno familiarità con un approccio che va oltre il design user-centered per arrivare a una progettazione orientata alla crescita incentrata sull’uomo e sul pianeta.
