[1] [2] Food supply chains include all actors and activities involved in post-harvest handling, storage, aggregation, transport, processing, distribution and marketing of food; [2] [1] and household consumption, which is the downstream outcome of functioning agrifood systems, subject to varying degrees of demand shocks , such as loss of income ...
Building blocks are an example of bottom-up design because the parts are first created and then assembled without regard to how the parts will work in the assembly. Top-down is a programming style, the mainstay of traditional procedural languages , in which design begins by specifying complex pieces and then dividing them into successively ...
A monopoly produced through vertical integration is called a vertical monopoly: vertical in a supply chain measures a firm's distance from the final consumers; for example, a firm that sells directly to the consumers has a vertical position of 0, a firm that supplies to this firm has a vertical position of 1, and so on.
