The sustainability of agri-food supply chains is particularly relevant for global sustainable development. Many existing food production systems do more harm than good. They compromise the natural rhythms of the Earth, introduce toxins, and therefore sacrifice future capability for current demands - the opposite of sustainable development norms. The existing system is also unbalanced with respect to its capacity to produce, the amount of waste it generates, the number of people who suffer from hunger, and the nutritional value it provides. Most of the current supply chains have been developed within the classic economic paradigm, where scale and leverage drive choices towards more profitable models. As a consequence, finding new ways to produce, distribute and consume food is a morale, financial, and environmental necessity. Sustainable development and triple bottom line perspectives provide the logic for questioning this paradigm. This book presents and discusses nine cases of organizational innovation in food supply chain, covering different phases of food production, facing different challenges, and proposing different solutions to the challenge of sustainable food development.

In Integrated Strategic Change, Chris Worley, David Hitchin, and Walter Ross describe a process model of change that leads organizations through strategic analysis, strategy making, and the development and implementation of a strategic change plan. By integrating the process orientation of OD with the content orientation of strategy, an organizational capability is produced that helps organizations understand when and how to make fundamental strategic change. The book is written for human resource executives, strategic planners, and line managers interested in improving the quality of strategic implementation. It can also serve as a supplemental text for business strategy courses that wish to emphasize process approaches to strategy or strategic change.
