“…Especially in some emergency situations, it is necessary to have emergency response capacities, such as the ability to produce large quantities of commodity foods within a short period, as well as storage and transportation capacities. The application of digital technology in the food industry will revolutionise food storage, processing and marketing, especially the ICT technology is significant in the field of sustainable food processing (Raja et al 2022). With the wide application of digital technology and intelligent equipment, the production capacity and management efficiency of food enterprises have been improved.…”

Based on panel data from 2010 to 2020 of 151 A-share listed food-related enterprises in China, this research uses a fixed-effect model to analyse the impact of digital transformation on total factor productivity (TFP) in food--related enterprises. Our findings indicated that digital transformation has a positive and significant catalytic effect on TFP improvement in food-related enterprises. The mechanism test revealed that both cost-saving and innovation capacity enhancement effects of digital transformation contributed to the promotion of TFP improvement in these enterprises. Moreover, our heterogeneity analysis suggested that digital transformation is more effective in enhancing TFP in state-owned enterprises (SOEs) in the food-related industry, indicating that SOEs play a representative role in promoting advanced productivity in agricultural development. We also found that capital-intensive and technology-intensitve food-related enterprises were experiencing productivity paradox traps. Our results confirmed that digital transformation brings catch-up effects to labor-intensive food-related enterprises and those located in major grain production regions. Overall, this research can provide valuable insights for policymakers to upgrade the digital--enabled food industry.

“…The latest developments in ICT tools drive to enable their applications in various fields including the food industry to address the challenges and restructure supply-chain activities to enhance the food security and integrity from F2F while reducing costs and waste [ 13 , 14 ]. These tools can further help in food processing, visualizing the factors affecting food quality, analyzing the food waste, and facilitating the decision-making process while considering the environment sustainability chain [ 15 ]. In addition to food quality, food integrity also plays a vital role in the supply chain that focuses on mitigating and preventing fraudulent activities such as mislabeling, adulteration, and counterfeiting by improving traceability and safeguarding in the food supply chain.…”

The rapid growth of the world population has increased the food demand as well as the need for assurance of food quality, safety, and sustainability. However, food security can easily be compromised by not only natural hazards but also changes in food preferences, political conflicts, and food frauds. In order to contribute to building a more sustainable food system—digitally visible and processes measurable—within this review, we summarized currently available evidence for various information and communication technologies (ICTs) that can be utilized to support collaborative actions, prevent fraudulent activities, and remotely perform real-time monitoring, which has become essential, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Internet of Everything, 6G, blockchain, artificial intelligence, and digital twin are gaining significant attention in recent years in anticipation of leveraging the creativity of human experts in collaboration with efficient, intelligent, and accurate machines, but with limited consideration in the food supply chain. Therefore, this paper provided a thorough review of the food system by showing how various ICT tools can help sense and quantify the food system and highlighting the key enhancements that Industry 5.0 technologies can bring. The vulnerability of the food system can be effectively mitigated with the utilization of various ICTs depending on not only the nature and severity of crisis but also the specificity of the food supply chain. There are numerous ways of implementing these technologies, and they are continuously evolving.
