Risk and uncertainty are ubiquitous and varied in agri-food supply chains. As environment volatility increases, only having capabilities to manage agri-food supply chain risks may not be enough, resilience factors also need to be integrated into daily operations. This paper undertakes a systematic literature review on risks sources and resilience factors in agri-food supply chains. A five-stage...

Media constantly refer of unscrupulous producers that adulterate, alter or replace premium products in food chains with the goal to maximize illegally profits. Food traceability is a central issue for the identification of improper labeling of processed food and feed and there are rules aimed to protect consumers and producers against fraudulent substitution of quality products in food chain, b...

Regulations for both the labeling and the traceability of GMOs in food and feed chains are coming into force worldwide. Turkey is one of the countries enforcing labeling of food products containing GMOs. For this purpose, reliable and accurate detection methods are a necessity. PCR-based methods are the most common and reliable methods developed thus far. The aim of our study was to evaluate th...

Establishing and using traceability and provenance between different models is a very important issue in complex software systems. Traceability in the small (local traceability) handles the trace information between model elements. Traceability in the large (global traceability) handles traceability information between models as a whole. Current solutions are more or less adhoc approaches that ...

Traceability technologies have great potential to improve sustainable performance in cold food supply chains by reducing loss. In existing approaches, traceability are selected either intuitively or through a random approach, that neither considers the trade-off between multiple cost–benefit technology criteria nor systematically translates user requirements for systems into selection process. ...
