The food supply chain is a series of links and inter-dependencies, from farms to food consumers' plates, embracing a wide range of disciplines. Food Supply Chain Management brings together the most important of these disciplines and aims to provide an understanding of the chain, to support those who manage parts of the chain and to enhance the development of research activities in the discipline.
Food Supply Chain Management follows a 'farm to fork' structure. Each chapter starts with aims and an introduction and concludes with study questions that students in particular will find useful. Topics covered include the food consumer, perceived risk and product safety, procurement, livestock systems and crop production, food manufacture, retailing, wholesaling and catering. Special consideration is also given to supermarket supply networks, third party logistics, temperature controlled supply chains, organic foods and the U. S. food supply chain. A final chapter looks at the future for food supply chain management.
Michael Bourlakis and Paul Weightman, the editors and contributors to this timely and fascinating book, have drawn together chapters from leading authorities in this important area, to provide a book that is an essential purchase for all those involved in the supply of food and its study. Those involved in the food supply chain within food companies and in academic establishments, including agricultural scientists, food scientists, food technologists, and students studying these subjects, will find much of great use and interest within its covers. Libraries in all universities and research stations where these subjects are studied and taught should have several copies.
Dr Bourlakis and Dr Weightman teach and research at the School of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development, University of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK.

Index
...one of those titles you really should have read as a
professional operating in the supply chain and associated food
industry...it is surprising that no authoritative text already
covers the food supply chain.
The book is clearly laid out stepping through a series of
chapters, each of which is well referenced to allow the reader to
explore any particular area more deeply. For anyone wishing to
understand the food supply chain, the chapters on livestock systems
and crop production are essential.
This is a good all round text, that is accessible and genuinely
covers all aspects of the food supply chain... and should be
considered an essential read by any supply chain
professional.
