Abstract The triple-a supply chain model focuses on ensuring the agility, adaptability, and alignment of the supply chains in order to develop a sustainable competitive advantage. These characteristics have extended the supply chain desired traits from just being cost-effective and responsive. The agri-food supply chains include a diverse range of products, which differentiate in various aspects such as processing, life-cycle, seasonality, vulnerability, etc. These characteristics lead to different supply chain typologies and various requirements for synergies among stakeholders in order to meet these objectives. The situation gets even more complicated when sustainability objectives enter into the supply chain design and operation process. The scope of this paper is to analyze and assess the compatibility of the triple-a agri-food supply chain with the UN sustainable development goals and outline the interventions that could facilitate decision-making concerning the design and operation of sustainable agri-food supply chains.

This paper gives an overview of main food supply chain stakeholders and their role in achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). As this supply chain is global, playing a significant role in feeding the world, a deeper analysis of 17 SDGs, their targets and indicators reveals numerous direct and indirect connections with various SDGs. To perform such an overview, the authors investigated the link between the main stakeholders of the chain (farmers, food processors, food traders and consumers) with UN SDGs. In parallel, the authors explored the roles of policymakers, inspection services, certification bodies and academia in supporting these SDGs. In spite of numerous papers, calculations and estimations, discussion and media coverage, the authors believe that only the tip of the iceberg has been revealed. Based on this overview, the authors emphasize SDG 2—Zero Hunger and SDG 12—Responsible Consumption and Production as the most dominant for the food supply chain. In parallel, the achievement of SDG 17—Partnerships for the Goals will enable deeper intertwining of the goals and all stakeholders in the food supply chain continuum. Additional efforts are needed to pave the way for fulfilling the targets of the UN SDGs and exceeding expectations of all stakeholders.

Nowadays, Supply Chain Networks (SCNs) must respond to economic, environmental, social, and uncertain considerations. Thus, sustainable and resilience criteria need to be incorporated as key criteria into the Supply Chain Network Design (SCND). This paper, as part of an emerging subject, reviews the literature between 2010 and 2021 that integrates sustainability and resilience on the SCND. The article classifies the literature according to the levels of the SCND, levels of the decision-making (i.e., strategic, tactical, and operational), resilience and sustainability criteria, solving approach, objective criteria, contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and real-world applications. The main findings allow us to conclude that the decisions regarding the supply chain network design with sustainability and resilience criteria are mainly strategic, focusing on the forward flow. Most works address resilience through the evaluation of scenarios (risk assessment perspective), and in terms of the sustainability perspective, authors mainly focus on the economic dimension through the evaluation of income and costs along the chain. Based on the review and the proposed taxonomy, the paper proposes ideas for future research.
