AGRICULTURAL IMAGINARIES

This Agricultural Imaginaries card game invites players to step into the future world of Colorado agriculture in 2050-2075, where the world is shaped by an intricate braid of environmental, social, and technological forces. Each Future Card illustrates a potential future scenario, including the sweeping impacts of climate change or emerging water crises, to innovations in technology, shifts in community priorities, or changes in policy and economic landscapes. By matching these scenarios with Action Cards that represent practical responses, such as new farming strategies, community initiatives, or inventive policy solutions, players not only explore how resilience and adaptability are built but also practice design thinking about the interconnections that define agricultural systems. Through designing, discussing, and pairing cards, participants gain a deeper understanding of how decisions today can shape the land, sustainability, and social fabric of tomorrow’s food system.
