Using Argumentation in a French Agrifood Chain Application: Technical Report

Evaluating food quality is a complex process since it relies on nu- merous criteria historically grouped into four main types: nutritional, sensorial, practical and hygienic qualities. They may be completed by other emerging preoccupations such as the environmental impact, eco- nomic phenomena, etc. However, all these aspects of quality and their various components are not always compatible and their simultaneous improvement is a problem that sometimes has no obvious solution, which corresponds to a real issue for decision making. This paper proposes a decision support method guided by the objectives de ned for the end products of an agrifood chain. It is materialized by a backward chaining approach based on argumentation.
