In developing the proposed ESSC model considering the heterogeneity of consumers, we take an integrated modeling approach combining agent-based modeling (ABM), discrete event simulation (DES), and system dynamics (SD) to simulate both production and consumption side of the operation and the feedbacks between them. In response to this call, our study presents the development of an extended food SC model that incorporates the dynamics of farmers, processors, retailers, and consumers behavior as well as sustainability aspects. A growing number of studies focuses on improving the productivity of organic agriculture from sustainability perspectives; yet, the relationships between the behavior of final consumers and the decisions of upstream supply chain actors, in this case, farmers, have been poorly analyzed (Naik & Suresh, 2018; Taghikhah et al., 2019) .	./cache/cord-296826-870mxd1t.txt	./txt/cord-296826-870mxd1t.txt
