“…It can be said that food waste in management research (especially in supply chain management) in these areas is a new trend. This is confirmed by research by Zhao et al [ 43 ], in which the authors also point to value chain models to reduce food waste and forecasting food waste as an area of current research inquiries.…”

“…According to Zhao et al [ 15 ], FW has been assigned a key role in achieving Goal 12.3 of the United Nations Environment Programme. Currently, the management of food waste is segmented, but a holistic approach is needed [ 15 , 16 ]. According to Närvänen et al [ 16 ], the change is needed at three different levels: actors, systems, and sociocultural and institutional structures.…”

Food loss and waste represent a global problem in the ethical, social, environmental, and economic contexts. The aim of this article is to identify leading concepts in studies on food loss and waste in management research by network analysis of the co-occurrence of keywords, via mapping of knowledge domains, a method used in bibliometrics. We analyzed 2202 records from the Scopus database on food waste management with the aid of the VOSviewer software tool. In particular, keyword co-occurrence analysis was adopted to visually explore knowledge bases, topic distribution, and research fronts in the field of food waste management research. Ten representative areas were found concentrated in main keywords, namely, food waste, waste management, food, anaerobic digestion, waste disposal, recycling, waste treatment, municipal solid waste, solid waste, and refuse disposal.

“…The competitiveness of food processing companies depends on their investment capacity, the increase in their production, the development of new products and the implementation of processes to stand out from the competition [198]. Over the past 30 years, we have seen a significant reduction in biodiversity, FAO estimates that we will have a 70% reduction in biodiversity on our planet by 2050 [122].…”

income.pdf 4.0 should help meeting sustainable challenges by increasing the agri-food supply chain stakeholders revenues as well as decreasing their pressure for handling complex and external factors they cannot control, such as weather, market behaviours and policies, but also to react on time by visualising current trends in needs. This paper focus principally on the factory farm model issued from the European and north American style. In those typologies of farms the Industry 4.0 elements can be introduced and merged with the agricultural domain to create the Agri-Food 4.0. The focus is more specialised on the industrial farming although the Agri-Food 4.0 is started to be adapted also to the organic and silvo-pasture paradigms. Thus, this paper, considering a review over than two hundred papers, provides a contribution to knowledge by establishing the linkages between new 4.0 trends in technologies and Agri-Food Supply Chain Challenges, which opens the 4.0 research field for a multidisciplinary work. The choice of the literature review methodology focused firstly on key words related to the Agri-food technology, then the second approach was to focus on selected journals and at the end we looked for the data-based repository and the linked publications. To accomplish this, the structure in this paper is as follows: in the first place, a compressive state of the art of Agri-Food 4.0 related technologies is covered. In the second place, a review and contribution coming from digital technologies to the new supply chain methods in Agri-Food shows linkages with next trends and technologies. Next, and linked to the agri-food supply chain challenges, the fourth section presents new trends and models in agri-food supply chains, especially in the domain of risk management, collaboration, governance, cold chain management, globalization, information and communication technologies, Logistics, supply chain structures and sustainable agri-food supply chains. Finally, the fifth section covers the main conclusions, visions and perspectives for this novel research. 2-Agri-food 4.0 and Technologies a State of the Art The agricultural sector has been active in digital innovation for decades already. Especially the advances in Precision Agriculture, remote sensing, robots, farm management information

“…It is, therefore, necessary to identify support tools useful for the realization of innovative, technological and digital business models (Michelini et al ., 2020). The competitiveness of companies in this industry depends from their ability to make production more efficient, to create new products (Guoqing et al ., 2020) but “also promotes automation of operations, data management and access to a new range of management tools” (Panetto et al ., 2019). In the meantime, food firms are called to afford the challenges associated to the innovation in customers' behaviors by leveraging on their often limited sized and resources (Scuotto et al ., 2017).…”

PurposeWithin food industry several changes and innovations are affecting the management of the entire supply chain (production, logistics, etc.). As strategy for the survival and competition, digitalization has assumed a crucial role during the pandemic emergence by causing the reconfiguration of traditional chains and business models. Framed in these premises, the research analyses how digital technologies have innovated the sub-chains of bakery products and pasta within food industry with reference to customers' interactions, delivery and marketing during the COVID-19 pandemic emergence.Design/methodology/approachMoving from a critical literature review about the perspectives of digital technologies within the tradition of food industry, action research has been adopted to analyze in deep a case study of the start-up “ArteBianca Delivery” located in South Italy. Through this method, researchers have been deeply involved within the start-up to face the challenge of transforming the marketing and customer care into digital ones due to the COVID-19 restriction.FindingsFindings provide empirical evidence about the reconfiguration of the traditional business model of a family firm in the food sector into a digital one with the start-up “ArteBianca Delivery”. The marketing, delivery, e-commerce and customer care components of the business models have been supported and enhanced through the adoption of digital tools, such as mobile applications and social technologies useful both for users and for a more urgent digitization of company.Practical implicationsImplications for practice can be identified into the pattern of digital transformation implemented as well as in the opportunity of replication and contextualization of the results to other companies looking for setting up a digital strategy.Originality/valueElements of original contribution can be identified into: (1) the exploration of digital transformation in food family firms caused by the pandemic emergence, (2) the contextualization of the digital transformation to the sub-chains of bakery and pasta and (3) the geographical location of the case.
