Abstract

This paper describes how innovation in metrology is interlinked with innovation in products and processes and strong implications of this fact for green growth.<BR />The <i>Taxonomy of the ways of innovation in metrology</i> and a model based on the study <i>An Assessment of the United States Measurement System</i> have been used.<BR />The project consists on the validation of an innovative technology for green and effective growth of crops developed by one of the authors of CBM™. This is done through three blocks of tests and measurements in equal sets of metrological disciplines.<BR />The study presented is a demonstration of the value that metrology can provide for radical innovation in the field of green production of food.
