A SUSTAINABLE FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN: GREEN LOGISTICS

Food security continues to be an issue in various locations in the world, with important challenges for domestic and international policies. Meanwhile, modern food processing and advanced logistics increased the threats on food safety in areas where security is achieved. The paper addresses this topic by presenting and discussing the patterns of green logistics in food supply chains in the framework of sustainable development. It is emphasized the need to consider a different order of priority in the substantiation of supply chains, in which local food products will gain a favored position. Short supply chains, traditional products, organic food and other means to promote food safety are also considered.
