Forecasting food supply chain developments in lagging rural regions: Evidence from the U.K

Article Abstract:

Using the Delphi technique, factors that are likely to influence the supply chain development and performance in two lagging rural regions (LRRs) in the U.K., West Wales and the Scottish-English borders are discussed. The findings suggest that socio-economic values can be gained by localizing, shortening and synergising the food chain in lagging rural regions.
