 Notes from scenario building session about the interaction between humans and invasive species. The two hour long workshop was designed to get a sense of what possible futures might exist for cohabitation with exotic and invasive species. Lisa Ma (a speculative designer working on 'human-invasives-interaction' at the time of the workshop) provided the framing and focal issue for the workshop. She was curious how invasive species might become a source rather than be seen as waste. Eva de Groote from Timelab brought together a diverse group of participants - from researchers, to activists, policy makers and cooks. The cultural centre Vooruit hosted the workshop at their premises and within their festival appropriately entitled "Possible Futures". The workshop was an exploratory taste of Lisa's speculative microresidency at FoAM in 2014.  Notes from scenario building session about the interaction between humans and invasive species.

   * **Alien species support us**: they should become a part of the solution dealing with issues of food safety. For that to happen both regulation and culture must change. If seen as able to increase local economic resilience, they might be seen as productive species that can be seen as providing nutrition (or other support) for humans and/or others. A development of an invasives market is likely.   * **Alien species support us**: they should become a part of the solution dealing with issues of food safety.

   * **Alien species adapt to us**: Not all exotic species are invasive. Some of them adopt a strategy of invisibility and non-disturbance. As long as they have no negative impact on their host habitats, they're considered "nice" and likeable. We can help alien species willing to adapt and "do no harm" and find a way to use more aggressive invaders without fearing them.   * **Alien species adapt to us**: Not all exotic species are invasive.
