Summary:

"This timely book explores system dynamics as a tool for tackling critical challenges in agriculture and global food security. Discussing climate change, resource limitations, and supply chain vulnerabilities, Hassan Qudrat-Ullah and Mohammad Shamsuddoha examine how system dynamics can model complex interactions within agricultural systems to improve supply chain resilience. With particular attention to the challenges in developing countries, the book analyzes diverse topics including dairy farming, advanced poultry technologies, and smart farming solutions. Combining interdisciplinary expertise, the authors showcase holistic and actionable approaches for improving agricultural resilience, sustainability, and food security. They emphasize innovation in the field and assess cutting-edge technologies such as circular economies and cybersecurity resilience, demonstrating their transformative potential in sustainable farming practices. This book is an essential resource for scholars and students interested in the application of system dynamics to agriculture and supply chain modelling. Policymakers, government officials, and agricultural industry stakeholders seeking to bolster supply chain resilience will also benefit from its practical insights"-- Provided by publisher.
