Food and living labs are great platforms for transformation. But setting up and running a lab is a challenging, yet do-able, multi-step process (see the Figure below). Labs need to have an appropriate Lab design and communication strategy, and need to engage in thorough food system mapping, stakeholder identification, stakeholder communication, and multi-stakeholder event design. To incite (food) system transformation, a lab can be the facilitator of citizen consultation, visioning activities, and educational module co-creation and testing. In these activities, lab coördinators and participants benefit greatly from ‘deep listening‘ and ‘DLA reflection‘ skills. Click on the Figure below to navigate through our interactive PDF about the multi-step lab process, and feel free to click on supportive tools that are presented for each step. All the supportive tools and much more can also be found if you scroll down this page.
