Abstract
With the promotion of the 2050 net-zero carbon emission policy, sustainable diets have garnered increasing attention. Among the four key pillars of sustainable diets—environmental protection, health and nutrition, economics, and socio-cultural aspects—the socio-cultural dimension remains underexplored despite being a critical factor in advancing sustainable dietary behaviors. This study aims to design scenarios for future sustainable dietary lifestyles and to explore how sustainable food design can foster behavioral shifts towards sustainable eating. Targeting individuals with sustainability awareness who frequently dine out, this research employs serious tabletop games as a medium and adopts qualitative research methods. The game design, based on preliminary investigation, centers on scenario simulation. The study investigates participants’ perceptions and imaginations of future sustainable diets by engaging them in food choices, scenario interactions, and responses to challenges. Data collection encompasses game process observations and focus group interviews, followed by thematic analysis to identify key insights. Ultimately, the research will construct three distinct future scenarios of sustainable dietary lifestyles. These scenarios will provide novel perspectives and methodologies for sustainable food design, highlighting how scenario design can facilitate sustainable dietary transitions and inspire new directions for the field of food design.
