In this chapter, we construct a food supply chain network model under oligopolistic competition and perishability, with a focus on fresh produce. The model handles food spoilage through arc multipliers, with the inclusion of the discarding costs associated with disposal.

Abstract The article reviews the present inputs—land, water, light, chemicals—and their possible or likely development. Consideration of the losses inherent in the food-supply chain, eg crop fractionation or conversion, will often lead to a recommendation for a change of policy—if the goal is to maximise food supply from the available resources.

Publisher Summary This chapter focuses on the availability of food for birds. Food supply is an important factor that influences the number of birds, but its precise effects are not easy to quantify. One problem is that shortages are not always shown in an obvious way, such as starvation (loss of body condition to the point of death).

The Supply of Food to the Benthos
1984The food supply of the bulk of the marine benthos is provided by the downward transport of organic matter produced by phytoplankton in the surface layer. The importance for the benthos of this vertical transfer of matter and energy from the pelagic to the benthic system has been recognised for a long time, although only recently has effort been devoted

The idea of exposing food to gamma radiation is over 30 years old, and in 1963 the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began to permit the irradiation of wheat. Over the years, a few more foodstuffs such as spices and tea were added, but in 1984 the FDA started to approve irradiation of a much broader list of products which now includes meat, poultry ...

Two features of indigenous food supply systems stand out. One is that materials from cultivated crops and domesticated animals, are supplemented with a wide variety of foods from wild sources. The other is that, taken overall and in unstressed conditions, traditional diets are healthy ones, coming much closer to World Health Organization targets than ...

What we eat, and the methods by which our food is produced, are of greater personal importance than many of the other issues described in this book. Environment, culture,religion and personal values influence our diet, including vegetarianism and which, if any,meat can be consumed.

One of the most polarized and controversial aspects of Famine historiography relates to the issue of food production, export and distribution. The popular understanding has tended to believe that large amounts of food left Ireland whilst the people starved. This interpretation has its roots in the writing of the radical John Mitchel.
