Quantifying the Agri-Food Supply Chain Reviews

From the reviews:

This text is a summary of the proceedings of a workshop convened in 2004 at Wageningen. ... The book offers a number of readings in topic areas that have interest to students and researchers alike. It will be a useful supplementary text for final year under graduate agri-business programmes and essential reading for postgraduates researching in areas covered by the scope of the workshop. It is hoped that the exercises can be repeated on a regular basis. (David Walters, Food New Zealand, June, 2007)
