By addressing key societal and environmental challenges, such as desertification, floods, epidemics, rising trade costs, and food insecurity, it presents pioneering research initiatives to guide informed decision-making. Addressing the inadequate sustainability performance of agri-food supply chains due to complex stakeholder interactions and conflicting objectives, the book includes chapters on mapping the Cretan vegetable supply chain, trade initiatives in Latin America and the Caribbean, cooperative member commitment, sustainable food consumption patterns, water resource management in Africa, value-chain development, a financial analysis of the brewery industry, and the value chain of carob-flour production. The book aims to promote biodiversity conservation by establishing sustainable supply chains in the global agri-food sector. Given its scope, the book is intended for a diverse audience, including academics, businesses, policymakers, and stakeholders. . 410 0$aCooperative Management,$x2364-4028 606 $aBusiness logistics 606 $aProduction management 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aSustainability 606 $aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects 606 $aFood science 606 $aSupply Chain Management 606 $aOperations Management 606 $aBiodiversity 606 $aSustainability 606 $aAgricultural Economics 606 $aFood Science 615 0$aBusiness logistics. 615 0$aProduction management. 615 0$aBiodiversity. 615 0$aSustainability. 615 0$aAgriculture$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aFood science. 615 14$aSupply Chain Management. 615 24$aOperations Management. 615 24$aBiodiversity. 615 24$aSustainability. 615 24$aAgricultural Economics. 615 24$aFood Science. 676 $a658.7 702 $aMattas$b Konstadinos 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910841857003321 996 $aValue Chain Dynamics in a Biodiverse Environment$94240779 997 $aUNINA
