food distribution networks

Food distribution networks are systems that move food from farms and producers to consumers through a series of steps, including processing, storage, transportation, and retail. They involve various entities such as suppliers, warehouses, transportation companies, and grocery stores. Efficient networks ensure that food remains fresh, safe, and available where needed, balancing supply and demand across regions. These networks rely on logistics, technology, and planning to coordinate timely delivery, manage inventories, and reduce waste, ultimately connecting food sources to consumers in a reliable and effective manner.
