Development of Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs) can contribute to creating more sustainable and resilient food systems. Nonetheless, SFSCs face challenges concerning different parts of the supply chain such as production, marketing, and product distribution that complicate their development. The scientific research has focused on SFSCs predominantly from a social sciences perspective. Their logistics aspects, consequently, have been under-studied. Our objective in this study is to focus on the logistics challenges SFSCs face, as well as potential development strategies, by forging a link between the SFSCs literature and the Supply Chain Management field. To do so, our methodology in this study is based on case study research, proposition of Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), simulation model development, proposition of different SFSC settings (to-be scenarios) and disruption scenarios, followed by an eventual evaluation of KPI values and trade-offs among different settings and scenarios. The eventual results of this study will enable us to evaluate the different dimensions of SFSC performance and sustainability, and to discuss the trade-offs over the proposed SFSC settings and disruption scenarios.
