“…Evolving uncertainty, risks and crises associated with the progression of natural environments, products, and technologies, social demands, policies, and globalization present new challenges to the current systems of risk management. The literature on the Agri-food sector focuses predominately on technical methods and capabilities to perceive, prevent, mitigate, and recover from diverse threats and risks(Barker, 2005;Beni et al, 2012; Hefnawy, 2011;Jaffee et al, 2008;Zhang & Li, 2012).…”

The subject of the research is to explore the operational risks-the risk of emergencies and specific Coronavirus pandemic risk that are SMEs from agribusiness sector, from Western Balkan countries exposed to, and the significances of their effect as independent variables to the sustainability of revenues in 2020. For that purpose, a survey of 102 SMEs from Agri-food and farms from the agribusiness sector from Serbia, Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Albania and Montenegro were provided at the end of March 2020. Methods used are: descriptive statistical analysis, correlation and regression analysis, ANOVA test, Person's correlation and multiple linear correlations. The results confirmed the hypothesis of the research-which the Sustainability risk of SMEs and farms in Western Balkan countries is significantly influenced by operational risk of emergencies and, ongoing Coronavirus pandemic) risk level in 2020. The contribution could to the sector actors' exposure to these risks for efficient managing future uncertainties.

“…The FRISBEE tool includes extensive databases of timetemperature histories measured along the supply chain and quality models predicting the remaining shelf life of perishable food, as well as optimization modules to reduce food waste and energy consumption along the supply chain (Gwanpua et al, 2015). CanGRASP is a GISbased simulation tool used for the traceability of contaminated food during foodborne outbreaks, the development of mitigation measures to prevent outbreaks and the training of stakeholders involved in public health risk assessment (Hashemi Beni et al, 2012, LeBlanc et al, 2015. The combination of efficient wireless temperature monitoring systems with recent software developments could open exciting new perspectives towards an improvement at a global scale of food safety and, by extension, food security.…”

Highlights 222 millions of tons are annually wasted in developed countries. Increasing pressure is being placed on shrinking finite resources produce our food. The European commission has recently committed to decrease food waste 50% by 2025, as well as the US who have adopted a national waste reduction goal by the year 2030. We must adopt a fully coordinated global effort to achieve sustainable food security. Technology has a significant role to play in global food security.

“…One approach could be based on Huff’s gravity model for trade area analysis [ 21 ] as suggested by Kaufman et al [ 14 ]. If the exact coordinates of the residence are known, it might be possible to apply other criteria for accessibility of food products based on distance to retail shops in rural vs. urban areas as applied in the study by Hashemi Beni et al [ 22 ]. Most of the 20 food product units with the highest likelihood ratio originated from the 2006 data set except the time points where the proportion of misclassified cases included were above or equal to 20%.…”

An Adjusted Likelihood Ratio Approach Analysing Distribution of Food Products to Assist the Investigation of Foodborne Outbreaks

In order to facilitate foodborne outbreak investigations there is a need to improve the methods for identifying the food products that should be sampled for laboratory analysis. The aim of this study was to examine the applicability of a likelihood ratio approach previously developed on simulated data, to real outbreak data. We used human case and food product distribution data from the Norwegian enterohaemorrhagic Escherichia coli outbreak in 2006. The approach was adjusted to include time, space smoothing and to handle missing or misclassified information. The performance of the adjusted likelihood ratio approach on the data originating from the HUS outbreak and control data indicates that the adjusted approach is promising and indicates that the adjusted approach could be a useful tool to assist and facilitate the investigation of food borne outbreaks in the future if good traceability are available and implemented in the distribution chain. However, the approach needs to be further validated on other outbreak data and also including other food products than meat products in order to make a more general conclusion of the applicability of the developed approach.
