在台灣，有許多人在從事著所謂的物流工作，但是卻經常誤認為是從事著流通的工作。隨著時代的急速進展，原本的行銷觀念已經漸漸無法通用於新的變化，流通的意涵也必須被正確認識。
特別是提供學習者可以從食品加工生產事業、食品市場電子商務、生鮮食品配送等的經營角度，理解如何建立具有效能的運輸體系、成本合理化的追求、物流人員配置、企業協同管理之合作方案，以及符合現代化食品安全管理與風險管理之物流體系等。

In Taiwan, many people are doing the so-called logistics work, but they often mistakenly believe that it is doing the circulation work. With the rapid progress of the times, the original marketing concept has gradually become uncommon for new changes, and the meaning of circulation must be correctly recognized.
In particular, it provides learners with business perspectives that can understand how to establish an efficient transportation system, the pursuit of cost rationalization, logistics personnel allocation, enterprise cooperative management cooperation plans, and logistics systems that comply with modern food safety management and risk management, etc.

本科目乃是在本系的「食品流通學」之教學體系上，扮演著向修習學生傳達有關「食品物流」的意義與功能；特別是從自動化管理、運輸效能提升、物流人員配置、企業協同管理等等的立場，講授現代化的物流體系對於食品流通管理的影響與貢獻。如果修習學生可以完整修習「食品流通學」之教學體系，應該可以建立對於食品流通的正確知識，強化往後在升學與就業之時的學識或能力。
