Resilient Agrifood Systems and Social Economy
Description
This research line addresses the design of more efficient, sustainable, and equitable agrifood systems, with special attention to reducing food waste and improving resource distribution. Optimization models and decision-support tools are developed that integrate nutritional, economic, environmental, and social criteria, facilitating coordination among different stakeholders and promoting fairer and more resilient systems.
Future work focuses on the development of robust predictive models to manage uncertainty in resource availability, as well as on the design of new organizational models to improve food recovery and redistribution. In addition, tools are developed to optimize decision-making in complex environments, with direct impact on social organizations, public administrations, and food support systems, contributing to circular economy models with high social and environmental impact.
