Testimonials
Participants to the Nutrition & Health 2020 scenario planning project endorsing this type of approach:
"Participating in the Nutrition & Health 2020 workshops was inspiring, mind-opening and definitely worthwhile. It is easy to
believe that your company is at the centre of the universe. This kind of multi-stakeholder process underscores that this is a
delusion by bringing a wide variety of other perspectives into the picture. Then you realise you are only a dot on a vast horizon!
Furthermore, the key uncertainties underlying the developments in nutrition & health identified during the process may not be
the ones you expected…"

"I experienced the Nutrition & Health 2020 process as very stimulating. It was a unique opportunity to develop future
scenarios about the impact of food-related illnesses on our society in collaboration with absolutely committed decision-makers from very
different industries and backgrounds. It struck me that the impact of these food-related developments was much wider than I anticipated.
This certainly helped to broaden my strategic awareness about these issues and it has fuelled nutrition & health-related discussions
in our company."

"Participating in the Nutrition & Health 2020 workshops was a very inspirational and enlightening experience. It was
in particular interesting to see how, through the professional workshop process, the different stakeholders from diverse areas such as
food industry, university, European Union institution, medical and insurance, grow closely together as a group in creating this three
possible future directions for N&H. Everybody started to see the bigger picture and realized the impacts from a social, political
and economical point of view. It certainly provided me with a broader view of N&H and an in depth view of the characteristics and
links of the various stakeholders as well as what the role of technology could be."
