VISIONARY wantsto make a difference in food system transitions, by identifying what factors underlie the path dependencies and ‘lock ins’ in current unsustainable food systems, and showing how these can be overcome. VISIONARY will tackle both, policy and business shifts as drivers that are necessary to make a change at the system level. The project aims to improve the sustainability of agriculture by promoting practices in food production systems that are more environmentally friendly, economically viable and socio-culturally appropriate. VISIONARY focuses on existing initiatives, practices and (policy) interventions (case studies) that are still niche or small scale, and investigates the barriers to scaling up and out. Case studies cover value chain examples with a differing complexity, different environmental policy transitions pathways and existing agri-food system examples, namely the shift to organic farming and more plant based protein production and consumption. At its core, VISIONARY uses methods from experimental and behavioural economics to identify barriers and appropriate behavioural interventions (nudges, education, incentives) for farmers and consumers. The novelty of VISIONARY lies in the combination of experimental methods with a systems thinking approach, considering the whole agri-food system as an influence on farmer decisions. The innovative combination of quantitative and qualitative data from a variety of methods is our important methodological contribution to more system based research. Comparability will be achieved by applying the same or similar methods across case studies in Germany, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Italy, Spain, Denmark and the UK. In order to achieve improved capacities, for researchers in behavioural and experimental research, as well as for policy makers and value chain actors to, utilise such research, VISIONARY will work with these actors in Science-Policy-Interfaces set up alongside the case studies.

VISIONARY 希望通过确定当前不可持续粮食系统中的路径依赖和“锁定”背后的因素，并展示如何克服这些因素，从而在粮食系统转型中发挥作用。 VISIONARY 将解决政策和业务转变，将其作为在系统层面进行变革所必需的驱动因素。该项目旨在通过推广更加环境友好、经济可行和社会文化适宜的粮食生产系统实践来提高农业的可持续性。 VISIONARY 重点关注仍然是利基或小规模的现有举措、实践和（政策）干预措施（案例研究），并调查扩大和缩小的障碍。案例研究涵盖了具有不同复杂性的价值链示例、不同的环境政策转型路径和现有农业食品系统示例，即向有机农业和更多基于植物的蛋白质生产和消费的转变。 VISIONARY 的核心是利用实验和行为经济学的方法来识别农民和消费者的障碍并采取适当的行为干预措施（推动、教育、激励）。 VISIONARY 的新颖之处在于将实验方法与系统思维方法相结合，将整个农业食品系统视为对农民决策的影响。来自各种方法的定量和定性数据的创新组合是我们对更多基于系统的研究的重要方法论贡献。通过在德国、波兰、匈牙利、罗马尼亚、意大利、西班牙、丹麦和英国的案例研究中应用相同或相似的方法来实现可比性。为了提高行为和实验研究的研究人员以及政策制定者和价值链参与者利用此类研究的能力，VISIONARY 将与这些参与者在与案例研究一起建立的科学-政策-界面中进行合作。
