Increasing sustainability in agriculture is an imperative target for whole food and feed production transformation chains [...]

Sustainability assessment of food supply chains is relevant for global sustainable development. A framework is proposed for analysing fishfood (fish products for direct human consumption) supply chains with local or international scopes. It combines a material flow model (including an ecosystem dimension) of the supply chains, calculation of sustainability indicators (environmental, socio-econo...

Numerous attempts have been made to estimate the production in the sea of fish and other organisms of existing or potential food value to man (1-4). These exercises, for the most part, are based on estimates of primary (photosynthetic) organic production rates in the ocean (5) and various assumed trophic-dynamic relationships between the photosynthetic producers and the organisms of interest to...

Blockchain technology has been identified as a possible solution to address critical challenges faced by the food sector. Building on potential of within Food Supply Chains (FSC), this study aims develop an evidence-based implementation model for in industry. Innovation Adoption and other prominent theories are integrated first conceptual framework, which is later validated following analysis q...

Perishability of agri-food products impacts the economic, environmental, and social aspects supply chains (AFSCs). Product perishability is, usually, considered in tactical operational decisions, but not strategic ones, such as design AFSC. The contribution this paper is that it investigates impact product on an AFSC design. To do so, first, a novel mixed-integer linear programming model propos...

Short food supply chains (SFSCs) is a concept that relatively new in the conditions of Slovak Republic, but developing significantly, mainly with support EU policies (CAP, RDP). This paper focused on evaluation performance micro and small agricultural enterprises short Republic. We focus selected economic indicators micro-enterprises depending their participation non-participation, respectively...
