Topics of 4 Parallel Working Groups:
1. Food Supply Chains and their Effective Logistical Design – Prof. Dr. Ing. Bernd Noche, University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE)
According to FAO (2011) one third of the produced food is lost along the supply chain from the producer to the consumer. The reasons for this situation differs from country to country.
For low income countries the situation is even worse, food is not available to all parts of the population, farmers are not getting appropiate access to means and markets.
We investigate sensitive products, reasons for major losses and develop for selected product groups appropiate supply chains, determine the necessary investments and measures to
implement effective supply chains.

2. Urban Supply Planning – Prof. Dr. Metin Türkay, Koç University of Istanbul
According UN reports, more than 50% of the entire human population started to live in urban areas. This phenomenal change in the human lifestyle is bound to affect all aspects of urban environment. In this topic, we will explore these profound changes and their implications for the planning of food supply in the urban areas. One of the first changes is the increasing concentration of socio-economic activities and the need for space for these activities. The allocation of scarcely available land for use by multiple actors and activities is one of the most significant challenges that would be faced by urban planners. In addition to allocation of land for different and multiple uses (such as residential, commercial, leisure, cultural, sports, industrial, civil services, transportation), effective operational planning is a major task in a well-functioning urban area. The commercial outlets such as supermarkets, green grocers, restaurants, hotels, kiosks that serve the needs of the urban citizens and visitors must be continuously supplies with a variety of food products. We examine different growth scenarios for urban areas and model robust solutions that will accommodate the needs of the citizens from planning and operations perspectives.
3. Scenario Planning and Evaluation for Sustainable Food Supply Chain – Dr. Ani Melkonyan, University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE) & Tim Gruchmann, Centre for Corporate Sustainable Leadership (ZNU)
The main goal is to discuss transitions to new pathways for resilience oriented natural resource use in food supply chains and suggest new innovative strategies for making the food supply chains sustainable towards future climate change impacts as well as the influences of changing consumer behaviors combining all the relevant factors into future possible scenarios. The transformational management of food supply chains shows an urgent demand for “integrated” and system related solutions, considering related effects of resource scarcity (e.g. mineral fertilizers, water, constraints on energy use and land use) as well as demographic change and interlinked resource consumption. Thus, the development of strategies for global market share, health governance, national income generation, ecological stability and social integrity is limited and has to be formed by a careful consideration of various scenarios. Sustainable Supply Chain Management (SSCM) could fertilize the trendsetting concept of the sustainable and innovative food supply chains by analyzing sustainability gaps, corrections in operational action fields, proactive counter measures as well as policy improvements.
Based on scenario development and evaluation, new integrated methodological strategies for supply and value chain alternatives with higher climate change resilience will be developed and suggested for efficient policy recommendations. Such integrated scenarios determine transformational socioeconomic frameworks, while favoring the establishment of concrete business and value chains in terms of infrastructure development, business models, operations, cooperation and service management.
The forecasting ability and scenario development will help the government and also the society to allocate the resources efficiently, meeting the demands of future urban systems.
