Online grocery shopping has grown rapidly in recent years. It has been promoted as a way to overcome the systemic inequalities in food access and increase sustainable food practices. A growing body of studies has highlighted the impact of income, food prices, and internet access/connection on shaping people’s behavior in buying groceries online. However, there is a dearth of prior studies that have examined the impact of these three factors at the macro/meso level. Therefore, this paper presents an analysis of these factors from a sample of 16 Russian regions with a combined population size of more than 44 million people. We used a fixed effects linear regression model to analyze panel data on median income, mobile internet connection, food price index, and online grocery sales. Our results show the significant impact of income and imply that while online grocery shopping holds huge promise for overcoming unequal access to food and achieving sustainability, entrenched challenges such as poverty and income inequality might be difficult to shake off.

“…Industry, innovation, and infrastructure are key factors of economic progress with a huge impact on employment, social cohesion, and environmental protection. Adopting different approaches, some studies from diverse geographical contexts and industries [21][22][23][24][25][26] investigate the inter-linkages among SDGs. These authors conclude that the achievement of the SDG 9 targets invariably contributes to the achievement of other SDG targets.…”

Green Supply Chain Practices: Toward A Sustainable Industry Development

As environmental consciousness is growing, organizations are required to implement environmental-friendly practices, and to develop sustainable strategies not just for the health of the environment but also for sustaining the industry for the future. Today consumers value organizations that go green and are willing to pay a price premium for sustainable goods. Then, it is an incumbent need for the industry to integrate sustain ability concepts into its traditional supply chain management. The industry is a driving force behind sustainable development, where industry 4.0 is set to be a critical enabler. Nevertheless, to foster sustainable development of the industry, there is a need for applying uniform standards in environmental management to reduce the consumption of renewable resources and develop productive ways of reusing and recycling the used/waste resources. This paper, theoretical by nature, explores the impact of Green Supply Chain Practices (GSCP) on accelerating industry-related targets of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 9 on building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and fostering innovation. Based on the literature review, conceptual interlinkages between the targets of SDG 9 and those SDGs that address issues of social, economic, and environmental goals, are studied in the context of GSCP. This work provides an understanding of the impact of green practices on the achievement of the SDGs.

In recent years, the need for innovative and sustainable infrastructures has increased in order to comply with the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. In that sense, due to the large flow of goods worldwide and the impact produced by foreign trade operations, smart ports have positioned themselves as one of the catalysts of development and economic growth of multiple countries, as they support trade flows and an ecosystem of related activities. In addition, the digitization of ports produces a huge amount of information that makes them more profitable, efficient and sustainable. As such, smart ports, through the implementation of technologies such as the Internet of Things, blockchain and artificial intelligence, manage to improve the efficiency of port operations. In this regard, this research aims to determine the current research results of the development of smart ports for the achievement of SDG9 globally for the period 2015-2023. The methodology is the systematic review and will be developed under a qualitative and bibliographic approach, for which academic repositories such as Scopus and WoS will be reviewed and analyzed. Within the discussion, the results obtained in relation to the stated objectives are addressed, these suggest that smart ports allow sustainable economic growth, optimize human welfare and have a positive impact on sustainable development. Finally, the conclusions section highlights the implications found after the literature review and the results, as well as recommendations regarding the exploration of this topic in future research.
