30 NOV. 2018 Call for Book Chapters Design for Food and Sustainability 

Trans-disciplinary Case Studies on Design for Food and Sustainability: A volume in the Consumer Science and Strategic Marketing Series analyzes the interconnectivity of sustainability, food, and design and demonstrates the presence of design in various food- related fields of study. 

Broken into six parts, the book begins with the theory behind food and design. The following five sections include several case studies that demonstrate the different forms and applications of design, including the use of food design in production and distribution, in food and restaurant businesses, in territory-identity, social food design, and with regard to post-consumption (waste, education, ect,…).

Through these case studies, readers will understand the components of successful food design projects and methods and will be equipped to consider food design as a pathway toward innovative and sustainable food systems.

This book:
• Includes practical examples to illustrate food system challenges, explain phenomena, and build theory.
• Considers the impacts, assessments used and scalability assets when presenting projects and case studies
• Addresses practical problems in food&design will present successful projects and interactive collaborative solutions between academia and practitioners in the agri-food sector

Trans-disciplinary design approach is being used as a methodology in the design of new sustainable food products, services and systems. And, the design of these sustainable products gives consideration not only to the product and/or service but also to the way consumers use those products and/or services. Access to additional information related to this research method will contribute to further innovation in the food industry
