This conference proceedings book is conceived to contribute to advancing further the knowledge on the ways innovation, quality and sustainability issues can contribute to addressing and solving those concerns in a circular economy context. Under this perspective, the final aim will that of highlighting the central role that commodity science can play also in the light of its multiple possibilities of interacting with other relevant research sectors, like food production and packaging, engineering, environmental science, organisation, management, and decision science, and social science, so enabling effort valorisation and result maximisation. Those interactions we wish to best highlight and educate academia, producers, decision- and policymakers, and other stakeholders on, through the conference and its published proceedings. To the editors’ knowledge, it seems that: innovation, quality and sustainability related issues have been already explored in several of the books currently available in the specialised literature, though often separately looking at specific sectors; and, by contrast, a book like the one we are proposing to address those issues in a multidisciplinary holistically integrated approach that considers the interactions between commodity science and other research areas has never been published. Such a book project can contribute to enhancing the current literature and knowledge on the subject. weiterlesen
