Agri-food value chains are complex systems comprising of a network interlinked and interdependent actors. To foster collaboration between these actors, trust actors in is considered to be key. Despite growing scholarly attention an overview what extent how the role agri-food lacking. Employing systematic review, this paper aims explore literature on provide solid knowledge basis for future stud...

Research background: The analysis of the competitiveness between producers, processors and retailers in food supply chains has always been drawing a high level attention. It become even more topical issue for researchers policymakers after global crisis 2008. Purpose article: goal this paper is to analyse empirical studies market power investigate if some are systematically prone excessive than...

A fairly realistic three-species food-chain model based on Lotka±Volterra and Leslie±Gower schemes is investigated assuming that just a single scalar time series is available. The paper uses tools borrowed from the theory of nonlinear dynamical systems. The quality of the di€erent phase portraits reconstructed is tested. Such a situation would arise in practice whenever only a single species is...

In the food sector, new configurations of supply chains, as opposed to global conventional ones, are drawing attention researchers and institutions all over world. These presented a panacea for recovery rural economies and, in general, system sustainability. this context short chains (SFSCs) become relevant, happens Europe, where strategies regulations designed on their implementation were adop...

Today, with the daily increase in population, demand for agricultural and/or, general, food products continuously raises and so does natural resources consumption which induces challenges to supply chain management of important products. In present study, drivers as well barriers agriculture sustainable are identified ranked help multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) techniques. We identify six ...

Abstract Resilience is proposed as one of the main characteristics a contemporary supply chain system should possess in order to deal with uncertainties created by latest environmental, economic, and social crises. Especially case agri-food chains, need ensure that they are capable responding such disruptions has started lead implementation new practices considering creation more resilient adap...

Food webs may be affected by evolutionary processes, and effective evolutionary time ultimately affects the probability of species evolving to fill the niche space. Thus, ecosystem history may set important evolutionary constraints on community composition and food web structure. Food chain length (FCL) has long been recognized as a fundamental ecosystem attribute. We examined historical effect...
