Asker: Hej Anna, Tusind tak for hjælpen. Det er to gode forslag. Jeg har valgt at bruge 'udforme' i en anden sammenhæng: Vi udformer fremtiden. Jeg har valgt at bruge: 'Vi tilrettelægger fremtidens fødevareforsyning'. Det er helt åndsvagt hvor mange betydninger der findes for 'engineering. andet steds i teksten er oversættelsen konstruction, teknik osv. alt efter kontekst

planlægge, lægge planer for


Explanation:
Som jeg læser teksten forstår jeg det drejer som at lægge planer for fødevareforsyning for fremtiden. Jeg synes ordet engineer er svært at oversætte I denne sammenhæng og ville derfor bruge vendingen "at lægge planer for fødevareforsyningen for fremtiden". Lidt knudret, men jeg synes meningen er god nok. Bare et forslag.

Asker: Hej Suzanne, tusind tak for dit forslag. Det er et rigtigt godt forslag. Jeg har valgt at bruge: 'Vi tilrettelægger fremtidens fødevareforsyning'.Da det er kortere og mere 'fængende' som overskrift. Det er helt åndsvagt hvor mange betydninger der findes for 'engineering. andet steds i teksten er oversættelsen konstruktion, teknik osv. alt efter kontekst
