✦ Synopsis

Food is difficult to handle in long supply chains because it has limited storage and handling time and spoils easily with incorrect handling, leading to logistical problems which severely affect product quality and freshness. Simultaneously, the end consumer expects to purchase high quality food at a reasonable price, and the modern food industry aims to meet these expectations. This book investigates the current state of affairs and the emerging technologies in managing agrifood chains and networks. Real-life case studies show new technologies are being implemented in production, warehousing, transportation and retailing.
