Mini Track Chair:
One of the main challenges of the modern world is related to access to food and energy. That is why the importance of the supply chain has increased recently, even more so during the recent crisis periods, namely the Covid 19 crisis and military conflicts, to which is added the crisis related to the environment.
In this sense, the development of logistic strategies designed to ensure access to food and energy, under the conditions of ensuring the performance of economic agents, proves to be essential.
In this sense, the financial instruments used to increase the competitiveness of the agri-food sector should aim, in particular, at improving the supply chain.
The main topics covered by the hereby call for papers are related to:
