In agricultural production, one of the sectors that stands out
worldwide for its economic and social relevance is milk production.
Although food items tend to be produced in complex systems composed
of several agents and with processes connected to supply chains,
the dairy supply chain is seen as relatively simple and includes
three main stakeholders: dairy production, processing and
packaging, and retail. However, this simplicity of chain management
changes in a scenario in which milk production is concentrated in a
high number of small-scale producers, who occupy areas where other
crops are less viable. At this point in the literature, there are
few works that consolidate studies that address the daily
production chain, in particular dealing with aspects of good milk
manufacturing and quality practices, environment, dairy farming
4.0, and management of the dairy production chain. Cases on
Managing Dairy Production Chains discusses the relevance and
topicality of the themes and their applications in one of the main
production chains, such as milk, and allows researchers to
visualize new insights for research in the various aspects of
applicable management. It further presents cases in dairy segments
and investigates their applications, entrepreneurial strategies,
and innovation in management areas. Covering topics such as cooling
systems, raw materials, and sustainability indicators, this case
book is an excellent resource for agriculturalists, managers,
engineers, extensionists, students and faculty of higher education,
librarians, researchers, and academicians.
