About us
Liminal Thinking is a boutique consultancy specialising in the food system. We work collaboratively with agrifood innovation ecosystems in different bioregions globally, and connect up thinking and doing using an innovation highway concept . By taking a different approach to innovation and change, we design the spaces between what is and what is next, building systems of possibility and focussing on seeding the innovation which lies in the in-between.
We are specialists in designing the enabling environments needed to support agrifood innovation ecosystems, and work on a range of projects and programmes which create both the experiences and spaces needed for transformation.
