The challenge of transdisciplinarity: Design methods for agri-food innovation and sustainability

This is not a book about food design. Instead, it focuses on the transdisciplinarity of design and its application in the agri-food sector. This book presents design as a combination of methods for teaching, learning, experimenting, and implementing to fulfill the requirements of the transformation and innovation we see in the fields of food systems and sustainability. By exploring a collection of different cases, this book explains the concept of design in a way that is accessible even to scholars and practitioners who are not designers, as an approach that forces to set aside technology and helps to process and problem-solve in a transdisciplinary and creative way. This selection of cases will be helpful for educators and students of any subject seeking to broaden their perspective and improve their professional careers. It will also be useful for professors and instructors who require inspirational tools and concepts to introduce complex subjects, such as transdisciplinarity and food sustainability, in their classrooms.
