• Resumen

  • The agri-food sector is one of the most important economic and political areas in the EU due to its impact on sustainability. The abrupt changes in the quality, quantity, and availability of resources, specially under unexpected environmental circumstances, caused by uncertainty in relation to climate, pests, and diseases, as well as volatile market conditions and the prices, have strongly pressured the agri-food sector to improve its resilience capabilities. The mismanagement of such sources of uncertainty can very negatively impact the quality, safety, efficiency, and sustainability in the SC. In this paper, a Conceptual Framework (CF) to characterize the vegetable breton sc (VBSC) in an uncertain context is proposed. The utility of the CF is twofold: (1) to deeply understand the problematic as a first step for the later development of solutions that contribute to the VBSC sustainability and (2) as a reference model for characterizing other horticultural SCs and compare with VBSC.
