“…As highlighted in the previous section, operators in the chain are motivated to fulfill private food safety certifications to obtain numerous benefits [ 61 ], which include improving product quality and safety [ 35 , 36 ], improving company image and reputation [ 33 , 37 ], or gaining access to market [ 62 , 63 ]; but, above all, legal mandate [ 64 ] and pressure from customers [ 15 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 ]. With regard to customers specifically, different drivers of certification level are addressed in the literature, such as the following: Meeting customer requirements or demands [ 15 , 32 ]; anticipating future customer requirements [ 40 ]; satisfying customers [ 65 ]; achieving customer awareness of food safety [ 42 ]; retaining existing customers and/or attracting new customers [ 39 , 40 ]; reducing customer complaints [ 39 , 40 ]; passing customer audits/inspections [ 39 , 40 ]; and lowering the risk of compromising food safety for customers [ 42 ].…”

Food safety management in short supply chains of fruit and vegetables, controlled by large retailers, has been widely studied in the literature. However, when it comes to traditional long supply chains, which include a greater number of intermediaries and wholesalers who, in some cases, play a dual role as resellers and producers, the mechanisms which promote the use of safety certifications have yet to be clearly defined. The present study intended to fill this gap in the literature and shed light on the food safety level that exists in this channel. In addition, this work attempted to identify the existence of differences between both sales systems. For this purpose, the empirical research studied the most important variables that influence the food safety level of some of the main European fruit and vegetable wholesalers. A survey was thus designed and later applied to Spanish and French intermediaries working in key wholesale markets and in the southeast of Spain, which is the leading commercialization area of these products in Europe. The results revealed the positive influence of specific customers (big retailers) on establishing stricter safety controls within wholesale companies. It was also observed that specific wholesalers also play an important role in the system, namely those dedicated to importing, but which are also responsible for quality and safety inspection of agri-food products exported from third countries into the European Union.

“…According to Co and Barro (2009), each stakeholder provides resources to the focal firm that somewhere impact to overall company's performance. Literature supports the positive relation between the stakeholder pressure and the firm performance, for example in the SC risk reduction (Kumar et al 2013;Reuter et al, 2012;Baert et al, 2012). Meanwhile, retailer pressure is positively associated with the SC improvement which adds value to the customer and improves market and financial performance (Martinez et al, 2007).…”

Purpose Since last few years, cold chain management (CCM) has gained growing interest among practitioners, policymakers, researchers and academicians. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review focused on food cold chain management (FCCM) over the last 16 years to identify state of the art in the literature, highlight research gaps and define appropriate research questions (RQs) for future research. Design/methodology/approach The paper analyzes the content of 89 research articles published on the topic of food cold chain (FCC) from 2001 to 2016 within different journals. The Scopus and Web of Science databases were taken into consideration to shortlist research articles. Henceforth, the authors scrutinized the FCC industry to offer some effective strategies to tackle the chain complexities. The authors also draw interwoven between FCC infrastructure, integration, stakeholders’ interest, value addition, partners’ performance and overall food cold chain performance (FCCP) into a conceptual framework. Findings This paper identifies four research gaps in the literature of FCC concerning the most popular approaches used for the FCCP measurement, the performance measurement metrics, the factors which negatively affect the FCCP and the main sustainability issues in FCC. Originality/value This study identifies RQs which represent possible areas of investigation to improve the body of the FCCP evaluation and management. Furthermore, the FCC practitioners, food authorities and researchers might find this review useful, as it draws a clear picture of research in the respective domain.

“…The PSR model reveals the internal relationship between social development, human activities, and the environment and can represent a continuous feedback mechanism between various indicators. PSR and its improved models have been applied in water resource sustainability evaluation [14], primary energy production capacity evaluation [15], food chain safety analysis [16], and environmental risk management of marine protected areas [17].…”

A New Quantitative Method for Risk Assessment of Coal Floor Water Inrush Based on PSR Theory and Extension Cloud Model

et al. 2021

In order to scientifically and reasonably assess the risk of water inrush from the coal seam floor, considering the influence of natural environmental factors such as hydrogeology, mining, and human intervention, the PSR model of ecosystem health evaluation was introduced, and the risk evaluation indicator system of water inrush from the coal seam floor was established. In order to solve the randomness and fuzziness of water inrush event evaluation, the evaluation model is constructed based on extension cloud theory and is applied in the 12123 working face of Pan Er coal mine of Huainan Mining Group. The application results show that the evaluation results are basically consistent with the actual situation, which shows that the model can be used in the actual evaluation work and is scientific.
