Review of stakeholders influencing food chain in slovenia in the context of food consumer science

Abstract

The stakeholders affecting functioning of food chain in Slovenia are reviewed taking into account the context of food consumer science. All segments directly or indirectly connected to the food chain are described. The deliverers of food, i.e. producers, processors and distributors, and the consumers' life and consumers' mind/culture are given main consideration. Interrelationships are discussed between these groups themselves, and between these groups and administrative bodies such as research and educational organisations, facilitators, investors and media.
