About the book
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, Nestlé 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.

- 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.
