Food supply chains are integral in ensuring that food makes it from the farm to the table. Understanding how these operate has never been more important. The new edition of Food Supply Chain Management and Logistics is the guide to all aspects of food supply chains. This book examines food production, operational challenges and the future challenges of the industry, sustainability and the circular economy. The emergence of new technologies, which are key in increasing the efficiency of processes, such as food apps, big data and blockchain, are discussed, with new content providing practical insights into supply chain resilience and risk mitigation. Food Supply Chain Management and Logistics embeds learning using case studies from leading companies such as Cargill, Nestle and Starbucks. This new edition is structured to provide readers with an understanding of the basics of food supply chain management and logistics before expanding the scope to cover more of a range of topics. Online resources include PowerPoint lecture slides.
