About the book

What are the key principles and emerging practices shaping the future of food logistics and supply chain management?

Food Supply Chain Management and Logistics
by Samir Dani is a comprehensive guide for undergraduate and postgraduate students studying logistics, supply chain management or agriculture, as well as professionals and executive learners working within or alongside food sector operations. The latest edition of this essential resource offers a clear, applied introduction to the end-to-end food supply chain and its role in feeding populations efficiently, sustainably and safely.

Starting with core principles, the textbook builds toward real-world challenges including supply chain resilience, risk mitigation and the adoption of emerging technologies. It explores sustainability, food waste and the circular economy, while examining how innovations such as blockchain, food delivery apps and big data are reshaping industry practice. Real-world examples from global leaders including Nestlé, Starbucks and Cargill illustrate how food businesses operate across supply chains and respond to shifting consumer demand, regulatory requirements and operational risk.

To support structured learning and classroom use, this edition includes:

- Real-world examples from leading global food companies
- Analysis of food-specific logistics challenges and technological change
- Discussion of sustainability, traceability and the circular economy
- New content on supply chain risk and resilience
- Online resources including downloadable PowerPoint slides for lecturers

Food Supply Chain Management and Logistics equips students and professionals with the applied knowledge and strategic insight needed to manage food logistics in today's dynamic and fast-evolving environment.

  • This is a fascinating book providing a comprehensive understanding of how food gets to the table, design, governance, innovations and future challenges of the food supply chain. Supply chain practitioners have the challenge to not only learn and understand these new concepts but also utilize a number of tools and techniques to effectively manage their chains; especially how industry 4.0 technologies can contribute to establish a sustainable food supply chain. An abundance of real-world examples, tools and learning resources within this book will be extremely beneficial to students, academics and practitioners.
