“…Very few examples of this type of study were found in the literature [67,[163][164][165], which creates potential research opportunities both in relation to the private and the public food service sectors. One such requirement must surely be with respect to the creation of a uniform certification scheme, which would enable direct comparisons to be made between different restaurants' environmental performance.…”

Abstract:The challenge of feeding nine billion people by 2050, in a context of constrained resources and growing environmental pressures posed by current food production methods on one side, and changing lifestyles and consequent shifts in dietary patterns on the other, exacerbated by the effects of climate change, has been defined as one of the biggest challenges of the 21st century. The first step to achieve food security is to find a balance between the growing demand for food, and the limited production capacity. In order to do this three main pathways have been identified: employing sustainable production methods in agriculture, changing diets, and reducing waste in all stages of the food chain. The application of an energy, water and food nexus (EWFN) approach, which takes into account the interactions and connections between these three resources, and the synergies and trade-offs that arise from the way they are managed, is a prerequisite for the correct application of these pathways. This work discusses how Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) might be applicable for creating the evidence-base to foster such desired shifts in food production and consumption patterns.

“…[insert figure 1] The proposed 'Hanging Diamond' model (HDM) in figure 1 utilises a 3 phase process and is a modification of the 'double diamond' design process (Design Council, 2006) and the need to combine the separate entities of form, function and underlying context to generate a performance orientated solution (Kalay, 1999). The model itself has also been evaluated within peer-reviewed research and applied to the health and wellbeing aspects of environmental impacts when undertaking a case study approach (Clune & Lockrey, 2014). The double diamond model was developed by analysing how professional designers perform the design process within an industrial setting.…”

Sport with a disability has progressed from undertaking physical activity for recreation to one of a high performance environment at competitions such as the Paralympic Games. There is currently limited information and guidance to help inform stakeholders as to how to develop the high performance technology of elite athletes who possess limb absence. In this manuscript, a conceptual framework for high performance prosthetic limb creation is presented. This utilises a synthesis between contemporary product design theory and a review of existing case studies. This proposed framework is then applied to a case study. Ultimately, the framework provides an indicative guide to the creation of prosthetic limbs that emphasise technological performance enhancement over that of mere sporting participation.

“…The 'co-define' and 'co-develop' phases need convergent thinking [50], to include different stakeholders to identify concrete planning strategy and suggest alternative practices by synthesizing the problem. Meanwhile, co-discover needs more divergent thinking, due to the coverage of diverse stakeholders for more depth and concrete exploration of the problem phase.…”
