Agricultural supply chain networks are essential to food security and are a major component of global trade. In this talk, Nagurney will describe how optimization and game theory are utilized to model and solve agricultural supply chain problems subject to a spectrum of trade instruments with a focus on food security. Additionally, she will describe how to capture fresh produce quality in multitiered supply chains measure resilience to mitigate against disruptions under conditions such as the pandemic, climate change and wars. She will also discuss how to better promote research contributions to influence policy and effect positive change.
