Emec, P. Bilge, G. Seliger] Population growth, connected with rising incomes, urbanization, fidelity to dogmas and climate change, places pressure on the food industry. This significantly increases the inextricably-linked demand of production systems for water and energy. Technological solutions—such as increasing accessibility and further reducing costs—can be employed to overcome the limitations created by the local availability of resources. This paper develops a new methodology generating sustainable value, and thus achieving a competitive advantage in business ecosystems. The methodology addresses both the key requirements of sustainable development and thepreferences of stakeholders. A set of design conditions are proposed to develop eco-efficient, socio-eco-effective, and adaptable production systems under changing limitations. An international project is launched to demonstrate the superiority of the design methodology and to create awareness about interdependencies among the prevalent design conditions and regional limitations. The task aims at developing technological solutions, which can be retrofitted in existing production systems to increase the sustainable local added value and capacity for regions affected by climate change. The impact of climate change is more obvious in semi-closed ecosystems. Cyprus is one of the Mediterranean islands with such a semi-closed ecosystem. Combined with water scarcity and rising prices in electricity, this made Cyprus an ideal testing ground for the methodology. The selected solution includes the use of hybrid energy and water generation to process agricultural productsand to recycle organic waste. This solution achievesa nearly zero emission, zero water footprint and increases the local added value by product-service systems. To support decision-makers, various technologies and their feasibility are considered, evaluated and recommendations are made for implementing the modular solutions.
