CONNECTION ESTABLISHED

The Long Now..

In April 2050, we found a way to send action cards for the regeneration of our food systems into the past. In May, we found a way to connect with Field Agents in 2026 through the fsys network. We now share a Now - a shared present!

  • [1] 2050?
    Biodiversity Framework Symbol

    02022 — The UN Biodiversity Conference (Fifteenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties (COP-15) to the Convention on Biological Diversity) adopted the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.

    "…an ambitious pathway to reach the global vision of a world living in harmony with nature by 2050"

    From the Logos Brand Art Guide:

    "Voronoi diagrams are captivating geometric patterns that weave themselves into the very fabric of nature's tapestry. They emerge as silent poets, etching tales of connection across cell membranes. In these patterns, we glimpse the heartbeats of the mathematical elegance that is intertwined with the soul of the natural world, evoking a sense of wonder and beauty[…] The logo symbolizes our connection to all life on the planet and the intricate beauty that surrounds us"

    Source: cbd.int/gbf/branding

    This inspires the 2050 Long Now timeline bridge in the fsys game world building narrative. In Games we can begin inside the vision and reverse storytell how it came to be. What Doings we did. What missions we accomplished. What learnings we learned from the past. This can inform and inspire Doings today which sprout into tomorrows.

    Time twists can be a bit mind juggling at first, yet they are a prerequisite of Sustainable Development to learn longterm generational and generative thinking.

    In Addition, our collaboration on the MFL Expansion with Alliance of Bioversity International and CIAT and CGIAR (described under Science) feeds our approach to nurture Pragmatic Utopias with doable pathways through Games 'n Play.

Our first 60 cards set covers the foundations of food system sustain abilities: soil, seeds, landscapes, biodiversity, synergies, culture, and participation. That solid foundation is set. In our next Expansion Development Sprint, we want to get to the delicious part and culinary art: FOOD & COOKING!

FSYS Schoolmeal Meet

While tasting in our canteen we kept dreaming: If we would continue cooking and eating this eco-logically and full-yummy in our schools and at home...

And that's how the project was: Food & Cook Transformer Expansion born at lunchtime.

The cool thing about trading cards, Collectible Card Games, CCG is that the collection can always keep growing. New cards - new stories. We remembered a particularly powerful card from our first expansion and played it: Change Maker!
