| Sumario: | This work raises the need to open new research lines to bring closer "Design" and
"Agri-food Industry", understanding design as a structured and multidisciplinary working
process headed up to create products, images, spaces, etc. Within this framework, the
following objectives have been outlined: i) Identification of the major design areas with
regards to the agri-food sector, ii) Estimation of the importance of the "Design" component
and iii) Definition of the possible lines of action. After carrying out a previous bibliometric
analysis, which highlighted the lack of relevant bibliography regarding the design
component in the agri-food sector, the Delphi method was selected as a suitable working
methodology to interactively and systematically answer the aforementioned questions by
relying on a panel of experts. The obtained results pointed out to the need of providing
incentives for design in agri-food industry as a non-technological innovation aimed at
increasing the added value and development of the sector. This should also help promote
the design culture and push forward the creation of innovative business strategies.
