Abstract

This chapter explores the relevance of scenarios and backcasting for sustainable technology development and sustainable innovation. It argues that backcasting, due to its normative nature and its focus on desirable futures, is very well equipped to be applied to sustainability, which is a strongly normative concept too. The chapter contains a brief overview of backcasting studies and a methodological framework is presented. The framework is illustrated by a backcasting case on meat alternatives and novel protein foods, which was conducted at the sustainable technology development (STD) program in the Netherlands. A backcasting methodology is presented that can be easily applied by engineers, which is also used in engineering education at Delft University of Technology.
