Hållbara värdekedjor inom livsmedel och bioekonomi

The agri-food value chain includes the decisions, the processes, the organizations and institutions, that begin from farm inputs and extend to the actors and linkages that are involved between the farm and the consumer’s fork. With this course the students will develop an understanding of value chains and agribusiness in the agri-food industry and the bioeconomy. Sustainable domestic and global food chains, short and industrial chains, and networks will be analysed. Empirical examples from Swedish, European and international as well as agri-food value chains in developing countries are used as illustrations Theories and conceptual perspectives are drawn from microeconomics, industrial organisation, strategic management and behaviour, new institutional economics, transaction cost economics, agency theory and social network analysis.
