Abstract: This research uses generative and reflective mapping processes in designerly explorations of the food system and the consumption and waste problem. Mapping was used to aid problem articulation and the identification of leverage points for design by using Geels' (2002) multi-level perspective (MLP) in conjunction with social practice theory (SPT) and design theory (DT). Blending these theories informed the use of canvases to map different aspects of the socio-technical system including the system's dynamics (MLP), people's everyday behaviours (SPT), and cultural aspects (DT). This resulted in modified canvases that can expand how the MLP is considered in design for transitions, an emergent area of design research and practice.
