This book bridges the gap between innovative ICT potentials for cost-efficient processes in the European food chain and trust between companies in the food chain. Using case studies from European countries, chapters discuss trust-building methods for food networks in an e-business environment. Key issues include the influence of cultural disparity and cross-border transactions upon major product groups such as meat, cereals, olive oil, and fresh fruit and vegetables. The book has eight chapters, in addition to an introduction and a conclusion.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
