The contributors to this volume address key questions such as: what are the drivers and barriers for the agribusiness sector to become sustainable? Which business models best facilitate the implementation of sustainable goals? How can we measure the extent to which the agribusiness sector is becoming more sustainable? How can the agribusiness sector leverage recent technological advancement to achieve its sustainability gorals? The analysis of the sustainability challenges for the sector range across various facets of the industry including employment, pre-production industries, agriculture, food processing, distribution and trade.
