- How can design thinking improve food sustainability in the Minho region (eno)gastronomy? A multi-actor perspectivePublication . Oliveira, Rafael; Campos, Susana; Rodrigues, Ana Sofia; Vaz-Velho, Manuela; Correia, Ricardo JorgePurpose | This study has the following main goals: i) to define barriers and present specific solutions associated with the food ecosystem, common to the various actors in the territory; ii) to explore the present and future of Minho's (eno)gastronomy and iii) provide innovative responses that meet contemporary consumer demands in terms of health and sustainability. Methodology/Approach | Trough Design Thinking, we pursued a collaborative approach that melds gastronomic traditions with health and sustainability imperatives, ensuring holistic solutions that valorize Minho’s heritage. The process involved iterative workshops, engaging diverse stakeholders to analyze the historical and current state of Minho’s (eno) gastronomy, focusing on the transition to healthier and more sustainable practices. This multi-actor approach enabled integrated solutions, enhancing the food system while considering climate change impacts and modern health trends. Expected Results | The topics addressed by the region's players associated with the agri-food sector and the solutions proposed highlighted the intrinsic relationship between local production and sustainability, emphasising that the proximity between producer and consumer translates not only into a smaller carbon footprint, but also into the socioeconomic and cultural enhancement of the region. These results will enable policymakers to apply a multi-actor approach, taking into account the needs of the various stakeholders in the region and implementing concerted actions that jointly respond to the challenges and needs we have identified.
- How can Design Thinking improve food sustainability in the Minho Region? A multi-actor perspectivePublication . Campos, Susana; Oliveira, Rafael; Correia, Ricardo Jorge; Oliveira, Ana Teresa; Rodrigues, Ana Sofia; Velho, Manuela VazUsing the Design Thinking methodology and the multi-actor approach, the aim was to find an innovative and collaborative perspective that reconciles gastronomic traditions with health and sus-tainability criteria. To this end, two workshops were held, bringing together 12 participants from the agri-food ecosystem in the Minho region. We concluded that the topics discussed and the solutions proposed highlighted the intrinsic relationship between local production and sustainability, empha-sizing that the proximity between producer and consumer translates not only into a lower carbon footprint but also into the socio-economic and cultural enhancement of the region. The richness of Minho products, from their flavors, textures, and stories, deserves to be celebrated but also protected and adapted to the new challenges of today's society.This study has a very original and multidisci-plinary approach. Integrating different actors, specialties, and perspectives has promoted a rich ex-change of knowledge and experience, materialized in convergent ideas. To improve the future of enogastronomy, the design thinking approach is used for the first time in literature to promote inte-grated solutions in the Minho food system.
