Nowadays, the traditional agriculture of the central valley of Chile faces new challenges and uncertainties in a climate change context. In Chile, the current risks to the sustainability of traditional farming families are the severe water scarcity status decreed in agricultural zones during 2020 in the context of the last decade drought, the need...
To respond to increasing demands for good agricultural practices (GAP) and food safety, governments globally are introducing stringent regulations to govern agricultural compliance that affect production, storage, and sales activities. New legislation in Argentina to enforce GAP is an opportunity to test compliance as an incentive to adopt technolo...

Since the start of the current century the world has experienced uncertainties in the form of climate change, epidemics, terrorism threats and increasing economic upheaval. These uncertainties create risks for the proper functioning of logistics management and have stimulated research into the development of resilient and sustainable container supp...
Crop-based Agri-food Supply Chains (AFSCs) are complex systems that face multiple sources of uncertainty that can cause a significant imbalance between supply and demand in terms of product varieties, quantities, qualities, customer requirements, times and prices, all of which greatly complicate their management. Poor management of these sources of...
In this chapter we present a brief summary of several aspects related to the recovery of the Old Limachino Tomato, a specie cultivated in the Limache Basin located in the Valparaíso Region, Chile. What is very interesting in relation to this specie is that it disappeared completely of the market 45 years ago! We highlight both technical and commerc...

Agri-food supply chains refers to the connections that exist across the agri-food stakeholders from farm to fork related processes. In this environment, operations like planning and control are critical to enhance agri-food supply chains performance and decisions, which are considered complex mainly because the presence of a high variety of informa...
The agri-food supply chain (AFSC) is an extremely complex structure that comprises a series of events from farm-to-fork. Additionally, there is a wide range of information and material flows required to be managed, which are seen as the knowledge flow in the AFSCs. It is expected that the use of knowledge governance mechanisms (KGMs) will help in e...

Abstract. The demand for food is increasing worldwide due to global population growth and the improvement of living standards. The use of pesticides in modern agriculture is necessary for most crops to guarantee the food supply. It has been estimated that the worldwide food production without the use of pesticides could decrease by as much as 35-40...
The term “Agri-Food 4.0” is an analogy to the term "Industry 4.0", coming from the concept “agriculture 4.0”. Since the origins of the industrial revolution, where the steam engines started the concept of Industry 1.0 and later the use of electricity upgraded the concept to Industry 2.0, the use of technologies generated a milestone in the industry...
Simulations help to understand and predict the behaviour of complex phenomena’s, likewise distributed socio-technical systems or how stakeholders interacts in complex domains. Such domains are normally based on networked based interaction, where information, product and decision flows comes in to play, especially under the well-known supply chains...
Organizations produce and exchange a huge amount of critical information, which main purpose is to obtain acceptable results. Hence, the trend is by considering integrated systems that can be easily adapted to several domains, especially when they need to exchange information. In this context, the agribusiness sector is a good example where massive...
An agri-food value chain (VC) represents a set of activities aimed at delivering highly valuable products to the market. Due to the diversity of actors in the agri-food VCs accumulated knowledge is typically situated within the boundaries of each entity of the VC. Hence, the question is how to improve knowledge sharing in agri-food VC, or more spec...

Multiagent systems are inherently distributed and support well the modelling of organizational issues such as negotiation mechanisms and workflows. In this sense, a decentralized supply chain configuration process can be easily modelled as an information sharing processes where nodes (agents) collaborate, for example, in planning and decision-makin...
In the supply chain modeling context, the agent-based model aims to represent not only each node, but also the information
sharing process among these nodes. Despite the complexity of the configuration, the agent-based model can be applied straightforwardly
to support the collaborative planning process. This allows the parties to achieve common goa...
Fulfilling the order requirements from costumers at the right time and with minimum costs has been an important study approached by supply chain management researchers. One of the main aspects addressed is the replenishment process which considers demand forecasting, customer orders, inventory levels, and production and transport planning. Generall...
