2. Eco-design approach for food, bioproducts, and (bio)food processes

Multi-stage: considering the entire life cycle, from "cradle to grave" or even "cradle to cradle."

Multi-criteria: taking into account all environmental impacts on air, water, and soil.

Multidimensional: integrating environmental considerations into design methods on the same level as quality, costs, deadlines, safety, and so on…

Multi-stakeholder approach: engaging the right stakeholders at each stage of the project through dialogue and partnership.

Evaluate: Use appropriate evaluation methods and tools.

Take action: Combine strategies to mitigate potential impacts.
