Multi-criteria evaluation and decision support methods

Multi-criteria evaluation and decision support methods

In order to identify and evaluate risk control levers that contribute to the “healthy and sustainable” challenge of food systems and thus anticipate and better manage the risks associated with current transitions, it is necessary to use multi-criteria approaches that encompass the dimensions of food (nutrition, microbiology, and chemistry) as well as environmental and economic aspects, in order to provide insight for decision-makers and inform consumer choices. It is in this context that several Secalim projects are being carried out.

Theses supervised on this topic:

Rodney Feliciano's thesis, defended in 2023, focused on the construction of a Quantitative Assessment of Microbiological Exposure model that takes into account the effects of climate change and the environmental impact of processes in the dairy processing industry. This project was part of the European ITN-PROTECT project.
