Innovations of agri-food systems during the last 50 years have been
guided by a globalized agro-industrial paradigm, which has
contributed to climate change, degradation of natural resources,
soil depletion, social inequalities, loss of biodiversity and
various food-related health problems. Despite the increasing
emphasis of food policies and research to address these issues with
ecologically sustainable innovations, there are still no studies
that explain how to utilize and integrate ecodesign practices in
food products development in a world of finite resources. This book
explains how to employ ecodesign in business models to address the
economic, social, environmental, and nutritional problems that face
the world s food systems. The lessons of the EcoTrophelia project ?
a unique program implemented by a group of European agricultural
higher education institutions to involve students in designing and
developing food ecoinnovation projects ? are explored. Through an
analysis of these projects, the authors describe the tools, methods
and standards that were developed to institute ecodesign into the
business models of 11 ecologically-friendly food products. This
book provides operational good practices that can be implemented in
educational programs and agri-food industries, to orient learning
and practices towards greater sustainability.
