Virtual Special Issue: Food Supply Chains

The International Journal of Logistics Management

Professor Britta GammelgaardCopenhagen Business School, Denmark - Editor-in-Chief

 

Again and again, I return to the JBL editorial by Stan Fawcett and Matt Waller from 2013, terming supply chain management “The beautiful discipline” (Considering Supply Chain Management's Pro-fessional Identity: The Beautiful Discipline (Or, “We Don’t Cure Cancer, But We Do Make a Big Differ-ence”), 34(3), pp. 183-188). 

Our present climate and other present challenges untold in this introduction, I still like to think about SCM as a beautiful discipline as it, for example, brings food from earth to people’s dinner tables (or the like). With this virtual issue of IJLM dedicated to the CSCMP European research Seminar, we want to address the topic of food supply chains, and, at the same time, remind you of UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly numbers 2 and 12. 

Emerald has provided participants of ERS free access from 5th June to 5th July. 

Enjoy!
