Agri-food supply chain modelling: review of the literature

A report  for the AgResearch Group of the Bioeconomy Science Institute.

This report investigates the literature on supply chain modelling for agriculture and food
production. At the start of the review, the focus was on understanding both the content of existing agri-food supply chain (AFSC) modelling and the accepted practices in the area. For content, we were interested in modelling of ingredients, concentrates or isolates, and how processing linked up and down the supply chain. We were also interested in how different process and their outputs were modelled, and how they were connected to buyers, distributors and consumers.
