managers, researchers and teachers with a forum, where they
can publish and acquire research results, case studies and
reviews, which are important to the global food chain.

sciences and modern technology on business strategies in the

strategies and evaluate the impact of changes taking place
throughout the integrated food chain, and provide an
opportunity to establish priorities in the development and
direction of the global food system.
