-Software is nearly infinitely and instantaneously duplicated and transmitted
+A software supply chain differs from a physical supply chain in several key ways:
+
+* Software is **intangible**, nearly infinitely and instantaneously duplicated and transmitted
+
+* Software can often be more **complex** to produce
+
+* Software is often distributed digitally, allowing instant global reach. Food requires physical transportation and storage with spoilage and handling concerns.
+
+* Different **regulatory environments**
+
+* Software has a different **lifecycle**; it can be technically be updated indefinitely, whereas hardware/food often has a limited shelf life
+
+* Software relies on digital **infrastructure**, while physical goods require manufacturing and logistical facilities.
+
+These fundamental differences lead to distinct challenges and management
+strategies in each type of supply chain, limiting the ability to usefully
+compare one with the other.
