This book introduces critical mapping as a problem-focused design
approach for analyzing systemic societal problems like food, to
scope out existing solutions, and find opportunities for
sustainable design intervention. This book puts forth a framework
entitled 'wicked solutions' that can be applied to determine issues
that designers should address to make real differences in the world
and yield sustainable change. The book assesses the current role of
design in attaining food security in a sustainable, equitable, and
just manner. Accomplishing this goal is not simple, if it was, it
would not be called a wicked problem. But this book shows how a
particular repertoire of design tools can be deployed to find
solutions and strategize the development of novel outcomes within a
complex and interconnected terrain. To address the wicked problem
of food insecurity, inequity, and injustice, this book highlights
seventy three peer-reviewed design outcomes that epitomize
sustainable food design. This includes local and regional
sustainable design outcomes funded or supported by public or
private institutions and local and widespread design outcomes
created by citizens. In doing so, this book sets the stage for an
evidence-driven and -informed design future that facilitates the
designers' visualization of wicked solutions to complex social
problems, such as food insecurity. Drawing on an array of case
studies from across the world, from urban rooftop farms and
community cookers to mobile apps and food design cards, this book
provides vitally important information about existing sustainable
food design outcomes in a way that is organized, accessible, and
informative. This book will be of great interest to academics and
professionals working in the field of design and sustainable food
systems. Students interested in learning about food and
sustainability from across design studies, food studies, innovation
and entrepreneurship, urban studies and global development will
also find this book of great use.
