Working with Perrotis College, this project focused on understanding the state of the food distribution and logistics sector in Greece to identify stakeholder attitudes toward innovations within the food supply chain. The team conducted interviews with various-sized food distribution firms and faculty with expertise in agriculture and determined that interest in technology is limited within the sector. From these findings, the team outlined potential technologies that have benefitted the system globally and may benefit the Greek system by improving food security and safety while reducing costs and environmental impacts. This research has the potential to be used by Perrotis College for the education of the future workforce in the Greek agribusiness industry.
