“…This can be used in conjunction with identification technologies, such as RFID tags, or QR codes to pursue two objectives. Firstly, the simplification of transactions (David et al, 2022;Kamble et al, 2020b). This type of supply chain typically involves numerous actors across different countries and generates complex products and money flows.…”

PurposeThis study aims to analyse how the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies can help different types of agri-food supply chains introduce and manage innovations in response to the challenges and opportunities that emerged following the COVID-19 pandemic.Design/methodology/approachA systematic literature review methodology was used to bring together the most relevant contributions from different disciplines and provide comprehensive results on the use of I4.0 technologies in the agri-food industry.FindingsFour technological clusters are identified, which group together the I4.0 technologies based on the applications in the agri-food industry, the objectives and the advantages provided. In addition, three types of agri-food supply chains have been identified and their configuration and dynamics have been studied. Finally, the I4.0 technologies most suited for each type of supply chain have been identified, and suggestions on how to effectively introduce and manage innovations at different levels of the supply chain are provided.Originality/valueThe study highlights how the effective adoption of I4.0 technologies in the agri-food industry depends on the characteristics of the supply chains. Technologies can be used for different purposes and managers should carefully consider the objectives to be achieved and the synergies between technologies and supply chain dynamics.

“…Events such as natural disasters (Campbell & Jones, 2011), economic recessions (Duquenne & Vlontzos, 2014), political unrest (Ashraf et al, 2015), pandemics, etc. (Chou et al, 2004; David, 2003) often disrupt supply chains. We, in this article, emphasise that consumers interact with a supply chain through retail stores, and such interaction (customer interface) was affected during the period of COVID-19.…”

The present study attempts to investigate the impact of the locational restriction imposed by the government, restricted mobility of the people and supply disruption at the customer interface arising out of COVID-19 on panic buying, product substitution and channel-shifting behaviour of consumers. A questionnaire survey was carried out to seek responses from Indian consumers on the items representing the above components on a 5-point Likert scale. A total of 425 usable responses were analysed using the structural equation modelling considering locational restriction and supply disruption at the customer interface as exogenous variables, difficulty in accessibility as a mediating variable, and panic buying and product substitution as endogenous variables. Further, the channel-shifting behaviour of consumers was investigated for different channels across different product categories during the lockdown. The study reveals that supply disruption at the customer interface has a significant influence on product substitution and panic buying behaviour. It was also observed that there has been a significant decrease in the use of traditional retail chains for staple food items post lockdown. The insights drawn from the study are useful for managers in designing appropriate channel strategies when faced with disruptions caused by a pandemic.

“…Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) is an effective approach for the chemical characterization and screening of agricultural crops. David et al [ 25 ] depict the importance of blockchain technology feasibility in FSCM. With the help of this, organizations can achieve integrity among connected nodes, such as proof of work maintenance, needs, traceability, innovation to reduce intermediaries, and so on.…”

In today’s scenario, blockchain technology is an emerging area and promising technology in the field of the food supply chain industry (FSCI). A literature survey comprising an analytical review of blockchain technology with the Internet of things (IoT) for food supply chain management (FSCM) is presented to better understand the associated research benefits, issues, and challenges. At present, with the concept of farm-to-fork gaining increasing popularity, food safety and quality certification are of critical concern. Blockchain technology provides the traceability of food supply from the source, i.e., the seeding factories, to the customer’s table. The main idea of this paper is to identify blockchain technology with the Internet of things (IoT) devices to investigate the food conditions and various issues faced by transporters while supplying fresh food. Blockchain provides applications such as smart contracts to monitor, observe, and manage all transactions and communications among stakeholders. IoT technology provides approaches for verifying all transactions; these transactions are recorded and then stored in a centralized database system. Thus, IoT enables a safe and cost-effective FSCM system for stakeholders. In this paper, we contribute to the awareness of blockchain applications that are relevant to the food supply chain (FSC), and we present an analysis of the literature on relevant blockchain applications which has been conducted concerning various parameters. The observations in the present survey are also relevant to the application of blockchain technology with IoT in other areas.
