Abstract

The article presents a case analysis of the design, manufacture and assessment of packaging (bags) to distribute fresh vegetables destined for direct marketing channels in the Buenos Aires conurbation. The aim is to disclose the methodological tools from the field of Design for Sustainability, which were used in the design management process started in 2017. The paper describes the network of actors involved and the milestones of the process, in order to elucidate the transformative potential of the design discipline in the field of community participation.
