Hello Professor, the exact title of my thesis is "future research of food industry businesses (saffron) in the context of climate change in the territory of the research area".
The tittle appears a bit confusing to me. What do you imply by "research of food industry business"? If your objective is to shed light on how industry will produce products (type of products, packaging, production methods, efluent management, etc) with environmental awarness in the future, maybe the word research is not necessary. Aditionally, what do you imply by "in the territory of the research area"? Is there any reason why you need to constraint this research geographically? How climate change relates to this geographical constraint?
Generating a food industry in the midst of global climate change: it necessarily has to start from the strategic plan and adapt within the framework of the circular economy, bioeconomy and GreendFoods project, life cycle management, with support tools in the potential reduction of emissions of CO2; raw materials with minimal carbon footprint and contribute to low carbon supply chains; implement renewable energy; waste recycling; transport with clean fuels; good use of water; use of CO2.
Hi, I found this information, hope its useful. There are several models that can provide insights into the complex interactions between components of the food industry and the environment, including:
Life Cycle Assessment (LCA): This model analyzes the environmental impacts of a product or service throughout its entire life cycle, from raw material extraction to disposal.
System Dynamics (SD): This model can be used to simulate and predict the behavior of complex systems over time, such as the food supply chain and how it may be affected by climate change.
Agent-Based Modeling (ABM): This model focuses on the behavior of individual agents within a system, such as farmers, food processors, and consumers, and how their decisions and interactions impact the overall system.
Input-Output Analysis (IOA): This model quantifies the flows of materials, energy, and money between different sectors of the economy, including the food industry, and can be used to evaluate the environmental impacts of economic activities.
Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA): This model can be used to assess the sustainability of different food production and distribution systems by evaluating multiple criteria such as environmental impact, economic viability, and social equity.
Perhaps you can choose to work on a model where you have the best availability of resources within your reach.
If you refer to research models, doctoral research work with explanatory and integrative research, since these are the levels of depth of knowledge that a doctor must apply to create theories or contributions to knowledge.But if you are referring to the food industry and climate change, you should inquire about said sector in the field of sustainable development. However, reading will guide you to what you really want to do. You should do a lot of reading on these two topics. successes!
I suggest using Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA): This model can be used to assess the sustainability of different food production and distribution systems by evaluating multiple criteria such as environmental impact, economic viability, and social equity.
