Wicked Problems in Sustainable Agriculture and Food Security, the TransForum Experience

Henk C. van Latesteijn and Rudy Rabbinge

International Food and Agribusiness Management Review, 2012, vol. 15, issue B, 6

Abstract: Finding a way to manage the underlying nature of wickedness was the main challenge for the Dutch innovation program TransForum. For six years a diverse group of public and private organizations and businesses took up the challenge to develop new and more sustainable modes of agricultural production. The results were used to help develop over thirty new agricultural businesses in which different, mostly intangible values related to sustainable development were translated into tangible and marketable entities.
