    Food fraud, food crime and illicit behaviour

    Abstract

    This body of work reflects on food crime and illicit behaviour in food supply chains.

    Description

    Criminal activity associated with the food supply chain is as ancient as it is contemporary. This work, derived from collaboration with many researchers, is fast evolving as a research theme and has significant value for the regulators and the food industry in assisting them to mitigate illicit activity in food supply chains.
