Join the ENFASYS project for an online webinar presenting a new web-based tool designed to support the exploration of policy scenarios for sustainable food system transitions.
Sustainable food system transitions involve complex interactions between policies, markets, farmer behaviour, value chains and environmental outcomes.
To support a better understanding of these interactions, ENFASYS has developed a web-based tool that allows users to explore and compare different policy scenarios.
The webinar “Exploring Policy Scenarios for Sustainable Food Systems: The ENFASYS Web Tool” will introduce the modelling framework behind the tool and demonstrate how it can support decision-making by making complex system interactions more accessible and actionable.
The tool combines System Dynamics modelling with empirically grounded policy bundles, enabling users to simulate and
compare the potential impacts of different intervention configurations across key transition pathways.
This reflects the broader ENFASYS approach, which combines systemic and behavioural insights to better understand lock-ins, levers and interventions for sustainable farming systems.
During the session, participants will learn how the ENFASYS System Dynamics Model works, why policy bundles matter, and how the Web Tool can be used for guided scenario exploration.
Date: Tuesday, 9 June 2026
Time: 14:00–15:00 CET
Format: Online on Teams
Registration: Upon registration, participants will receive the meeting link.
Presenters
Arianna Dell’Olio
Arianna Dell’Olio is a young researcher at the University of Bologna in agricultural economics. Her research focuses on the identification and design of effective and feasible policy strategies for sustainable transitions, with particular attention to the integration of systemic and behavioural approaches. She works with ex-ante assessment methods, including systems modelling, behavioural experiment design and systems mapping.
Matteo Masotti
Matteo Masotti holds a PhD in Agri-food Economics and Statistics and is currently Junior Assistant Professor of Agricultural and Food Economics at the Department of Agricultural and Food Sciences of the University of Bologna. His research focuses on food system sustainability from both consumer and producer perspectives, with a strong focus on behavioural economics approaches.
Filippo Pini
Filippo Pini is an early career researcher in agricultural and food economics at the University of Bologna. His work combines behavioural economics, agricultural sciences and system mapping to analyse sustainability transitions in farming systems. He studies how farmers’ behaviour interacts with structural contexts and develops system-based models that integrate behavioural and system dynamics to support more effective and grounded policy design.
