Welcome to the Food Community project framework introduction and overview! In this video we will explore the framework that guides the Food Community project work. The framework has been adapted from the Wicked Lab framework and the Greening Marion project framework. The Wicked Lab framework is based on Complex Adaptive Theory. It includes nine Focus Areas, containing 36 characteristics that supports systems to transition from one way of working to a new, more efficient may. In this framework, each Focus Area is a system state. We will explore each Focus Area in more depths in the upcoming Webinars. The model is adapted from Zivkovic, S. (2014).
