WWF-UK research proposal - WWF Future Foods

Please read the ToR for full information

Main purpose and scope:

Building on the original Future 50 Food work, the aim of this project is to prepare an approach/tool that helps identify local sustainable crops:

• Using current, best practice, scientific approaches to measuring the impact (cradle to grave) on the environment

• Using open-source/readily available data (i.e. there should be no cost associated with identifying local WWF Future Foods)

• Presenting this in an adaptable and user-friendly method to a wide audience (primarily food service, retail and civil society, secondarily consumers).

Activities

• To develop an adaptable approach, including:

o scoping/identifying nutritional datasets available o developing protocol for the environmental filter and scoping/identifying environmental database for analysis o developing protocol for additional filter/s

• To test the approach in four local settings (USA, Brazil, France, China)

Deliverables

• Presentations of progress at regular project meetings

• A readily available and usable approach and/or a tool for stakeholders to identify WWF Future Foods that apply in their unique local settings. The deliverable should enable the user to:

o Select country they are in and search for a sustainable ingredient list o Select commonly used products to replace (e.g. white rice) and get a list of sustainable alternatives for their geography

• Four lists of local WWF Future Foods from the test countries with accompanying swap lists from commonly used products to Future Foods

• A 5-10 page report summarising the project
