“…The results of this study indicate that the AFSC's resilience based on technologies, logistics strategies such as direct delivery to the consumer, and the development of production systems with a focus on short supply chains made it possible to reduce the impact on food production and consumption during the health crisis. Our study reinforces contributions from Coral and Mithöfer [73], who also conclude that the main drivers, such as market dynamics, the organization of actors in the supply chain, and digital and technological innovation, are critical to adaptation to COVID-19. The findings observed in this research confirm the role of technology as an element for the reconfiguration of the SC and fundamental support for the competitiveness of the AFSC in the face of the logistical challenges that arose at the beginning of the pandemic.…”

This study aims to analyze the changes in the agrifood supply chain (AFSC) configurations in Latin America (LATAM) imposed by the markets as an effect of the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper analyzes the results of mobility trends, production rates, logistics performance, and the strategies developed by managers and decision makers of the organizations of the agro-industrial sector for supply chain configurations during the early stages of the pandemic in a food-exporting region that contributes 14% of the world’s production of agricultural and fishery products. Through a literature review of reports and scientific articles on the behavior of the pandemic published by international organizations, research centers, and researchers around the AFSC in LATAM, the impacts on logistical disruptions, configuration strategies, and disruptive technologies applied in Latin American agrifood supply chains during the lockdown are identified. As a result of this reconfiguration of the AFSC, the development of short supply chains and the digitalization of supply based on electronic commerce were the most used strategies during COVID-19 in LATAM. The results of this study show that Mexico, Chile, and Brazil maintained a prominent position as leaders in the different logistics indicators for the AFSC by developing strategies that include short supply chains and the digitalization of supplies based on electronic commerce. Finally, this study also highlights the imminent need to address new research and theories on the reconfiguration of the AFSC, which allows expanding analytical capabilities in organizations to face future risks and challenges that will enable the reconfiguration of the supply chain in the face of catastrophic scenarios such as COVID-19.

The main aim of this research is to determine the effects of digital transformation as a factor contributing to efficiency and resilience in the supply chain agri-food value chain as well as, to analyze the main technological trends for the companies of this sector. The methodology employed is a literature review of 31 papers from the Scopus and Science Direct databases. The results show that digitalization brought many benefits, but also challenges. The different ways in which this technology has contributed have been analyzed.

“…La implementación de un sistema de gestión ambiental (SGA) es esencial para garantizar que las empresas cumplan con las regulaciones ambientales y reduzcan su impacto negativo en el medio ambiente (Coral & Mithöfer, 2023). Además de cumplir con las regulaciones, un SGA también puede proporcionar varios beneficios para las empresas, tales como reducción de costos, mejora de la imagen de la empresa, mejora de la eficiencia operativa, innovación y mejora de la relación con la comunidad.…”

La producción de banano en el Ecuador es una actividad económica de gran importancia para el país, siendo uno de los principales productos de exportación. Sin embargo, la producción convencional de banano ha generado controversias debido al impacto ambiental que genera. En esta investigación, se analiza cómo las empresas bananeras pueden tener un impacto positivo en el medio ambiente a través de una gestión ambiental eficaz tanto en la producción convencional como orgánica de banano. Se presentan las principales prácticas sostenibles que pueden ser implementadas en la producción de banano convencional y orgánico, incluyendo la gestión integrada de plagas, el uso eficiente del agua y energía, la reforestación y conservación de áreas naturales, entre otros. También se discuten los desafíos que enfrentan las empresas bananeras en la implementación de prácticas sostenibles y cómo estos pueden ser superados. Palabras clave: Responsabilidad social, medio ambiente, empresas bananeras, sostenibilidad. ABSTRACT Banana production in Ecuador is an economic activity of great importance for the country, being one of the main export products. However, conventional banana production has generated controversy due to its environmental impact. This research analyzes how banana companies can have a positive impact on the environment through effective environmental management in both conventional and organic banana production. The main sustainable practices that can be implemented in conventional and organic banana production are presented, including integrated pest management, efficient use of water and energy, reforestation and conservation of natural areas, among others. It also discusses the challenges faced by banana companies in implementing sustainable practices and how these can be overcome. Keywords: Social responsibility, environment, banana companies, sustainability.
