Year: 2011
Type: dissertation
Abstract: Everybody needs food whether they live in a snow-covered plain, an arid desert or a densely populated forest. Not only is the demands on farmers as the world‟s population grow increase, but the circumstances surrounding the demands are also becoming less predictable. Increasing frequency of extreme climatic events, the demand for energy crops, the debates surrounding genetically modified crops and ever changing consumer demands obviously has an impact on farmers ‟ ability to plan ahead and manage their farm so as to ensure farm continuity. From a professional perspective, I feel rewarded to have the opportunity to work with various stakeholders in the agrifood supply chain with similar aims and visions. Thus, to create tools to assist our farmers in their endeavor to sustain human existence through food production. I will like to acknowledge some of these wonderful persons who assisted in completing this Thesis. I would like to thank all the companies and persons that participated in the interviews
