Abstract: This paper analyzes last mile logistics for fresh food products and the food deliveries schemes to urban food outlets, i.e. corporate retail chains, independent retailers and hotel, restaurants and catering (Ho.Re.Ca.) sector. We present two concepts: that of food hub and that of last food mils, as well as an analysis framework to understand food last mile distribution. To illustrate it, two experiences of urban food distribution are compared to a reference situation using the proposed framework.

Keywords: food hub; last food mile; urban distribution center (UDC); city logistics; profession knowledge; pôle alimentaire; dernier kilomètre alimentaire; centre de distribution urbaine (CDU); logistique urbaine; connaissance métier. (search for similar items in EconPapers)
