Description & Details: The Farm Technology Group has, together with partners within Wageningen UR, a strong history and background in design of innovative production systems for various agricultural products, from the regular animal and plant related products to mushrooms, insects and algae. Design or redesign of agricultural production systems and chains is needed to deal with trade-offs between sustainability goals, e.g. economic versus environmental goals. Besides, structured design methods, their interactive and interdisciplinary implementation are crucial for the invention, conceptualization and adoption in practice of break-through innovative system designs. The development and application of the Reflexive Interactive Design (RIO) method resulted in novel design concepts like Rondeel, Lankerenhof, Kwatrijn, and Windstreek, that were all built in practice by partners involved. |
