Course unit content

The agri food chains are very heterogeneous and rapidly changing.
They can be classified according to several variables: structural characteristics, strategic behaviour of the firms, distribution channels and final market.
The first part of the course is focused on the characteristics of the agri food systems and agri food market and proposes some theory and methodological approaches for the supply chains analysis.
The second part analyses some supply chains and the strategic behaviours of the actors.
Some case histories will be proposed.
