Description
Summary:Climate change, biodiversity loss, soil degradation, water scarcity, and food insecurity are just a few of the issues threatening India's food system's sustainability. We require a more sustainable approach to food production and consumption in order to address these issues. We can influence lasting change in the food system by using the method to problem-solving known as "design thinking." This research paper aims to explore how design thinking can be used to design a better food system in India. We conducted a literature review of relevant studies, reports, and case studies and analyzed the findings to identify common themes and best practices. Our analysis revealed that design thinking can be used to design a better food system in India in several ways, including user-entered design, cross-sector collaboration, innovation and experimentation, and systems thinking. We present a case study of a design thinking approach to addressing food waste in India and discuss the implications and potential of design thinking for designing a better food system in India.
