ABSTRACT The Circular Food Economy is a recent concept referred to co-creative food ecosystems where stakeholders from different echelons work together to improve the chain by using circular economy solutions for managing food loss and waste while increasing stakeholders’ income and reducing the environmental affectation. There is a lack of quantitative information on what should be prioritized when designing circular options considering the actors’ preferences. This study presents an application of the FITradeoff method within the Agri-Food Supply Chain in a multicriteria decision problem of ranking circular economy initiatives using six criteria (CO2 generation, blue-water usage, land usage efficiency, social impact, income, and implementation) and nine hypothetical alternatives artificially created from available data. It explores information regarding preferable alternatives for householders. The results are considered a quantitative starting point for collecting consumers’ preferences as a basis for further research to refine such circular initiatives into more beneficial and attractive ones. cocreative co creative affectation actors AgriFood Agri CO2 CO (CO generation bluewater blue water efficiency impact implementation data householders consumers ones

Teniendo en cuenta que la mayoría de las empresas en Colombia son del tipo PYME y que la toma de decisiones depende de la visión del fundador, lo cual puede dificultar la generación de avances en la apropiación de TIC (Tecnologías de Información y de Telecomunicaciones); los entes directivos y gerenciales de las empresas pueden solventar los problemas detectados en el sector "Elaboración de Productos de Panadería y Bizcochería", apoyados en la utilización de diferentes soluciones tecnológicas, entre las que se encuentran los sistemas Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), como formas de integrar y manejar la información de cada una de las áreas o departamentos de la empresa [1]. La disminución de los inconvenientes de las pequeñas y medianas empresas, y por ende el incremento de la productividad, puede ser abordado desde el desarrollo de un prototipo de software ERP que da respuesta a las siguientes preguntas: ¿qué características son relevantes en una aplicación informática para el apoyo en la gestión de recursos en las pyme del sector?, ¿de qué manera se debe gestionar la información para que esté disponible a las personas, según la responsabilidad y rol que asume en la estructura organizativa?, y ¿de qué forma una solución de este tipo influye positivamente en el incremento de la productividad de las PYME?.

Given that most companies in Colombia are SMEs and decision making depends on the founder's vision, (which makes it difficult to make progress when embracing ICTs) directors and management bodies of small enterprises may address the issues identified in the "Bakery industry" by strengthening their activities using different technological solutions. Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is one such solution, which works as a way to integrate and manage multiple-area information or information from various departments within the company [1]. Reducing the disadvantages of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), and thus increasing their productivity is a problem that can be addressed by developing an ERP software prototype that attempts to answer the following questions: Which characteristics are relevant in a software application to support resource management in the SME sector?, what is the best approach to making information available to people according to the different responsibilities and roles within organizational structure?, and in what ways this type of solutions have a positive impact on SME productivity?.
