Abstract In response to pressing global challenges, sustainability transitions research has emerged as an interdisciplinary field focused on fundamental changes, necessitating novel approaches for strategy-making from and innovation. Foresight practitioners need extend their well-established methodological toolkit, which can inform subsequent planning processes about managing conflicts shaping futures, include the articulation of options contributing creation more sustainable future systems. This aims contribute this by exploring characterized discrepancies. Drawing Responsible Research Innovation (RRI) literature understand discrepancies between “desirability” “probability” missed opportunities secure social desirability in or threats it, argues collective identification anticipation reflect making responsive strategies. Thus, informed RRI, a Delphi exercise was modified engage experts German agri-food sector ( n = 21) assess divergent innovation-driven changes that had been collectively anticipated reflected upon beforehand. The results speak reduction complexity revealing specific actions necessary redirect innovation away unsustainable paths, well identifying determinants do good avoid harm.
