Abstract in another language
Research in short food supply chains has increased notably in recent years, mainly due to their likely role of achieving a more sustainable and resilient food system. Meanwhile, an ever-increasing number of disruptions are severely affecting the functioning of food supply chains. Considering the perishable nature of various food produces, it is of great importance to act rapidly in case of a sudden disruption to minimize any economic impact and food losses. To this end, a hybrid simulation model is developed, which enables one a cost-effective approach to address resilience in the context of short food supply chains. Resilience is addressed in the model by evaluating the degree of using different distribution channels based on post-harvest costs and food losses estimated by integrating food quality functions. The developed simulation model is demonstrated on a regional asparagus supply chain in Franconia, Germany. Results show the relevance of enabling alternative distribution channels to facilitate both resilience and reduction in food losses but also that the timing of the disruption is of importance.
