持続可能な食を支える食育推進への将来可能性教育の適用

抄録

This study examined the effect of Futurability Education for graduate students on “Shokuiku supporting sustainable food and nutrition” by introducing the perspective of Imaginary future generations (IFGs), who think and make decisions from the standpoint of future generations, to examine what should be done now for food and society in 2050. Through the experience of thinking as IFGs, the students’ opinions changed from a consumer/individual perspective to a producer/overhead perspective, and their awareness of social contribution and environmental considerations increased. They also took a longer-term perspective and became more aware of the importance of passing on traditional food culture. It was suggested that the application of “Futurability Education,” which fosters the ability to make decisions with future generations in mind, can motivate people to take desirable actions to support sustainable food.
