...one of those titles you really should have read as aprofessional operating in the supply chain and associated foodindustry...it is surprising that no authoritative text alreadycovers the food supply chain. The book is clearly laid out stepping through a series ofchapters, each of which is well referenced to allow the reader toexplore any particular area more deeply. For anyone wishing tounderstand the food supply chain, the chapters on livestock systemsand crop production are essential. This is a good all round text, that is accessible and genuinelycovers all aspects of the food supply chain... and should beconsidered an essential read by any supply chainprofessional.
