Increasing Demand

One of the most important challenges facing the world is how to feed expected population by 2050. Despite trying to increase food production over the past half-century, food security has been a strategic issue and an important goal of agricultural policies in many countries by challenges including population grow, increasing demand, natural resources erosion, etc. One of the critical dimensions in achieving food security is expanding food supply chain. A food supply chain can be defined as a set of interdependent components include of input supply, production, storage, processing, marketing, distribution and consumption or as the activities from “farm to fork”.

The sustainability of food security is a global concern, and one of the priorities related to it is the ability to identify effective efforts that can protect food security along the food supply chain (FSC). The present study demystifies the relation of sustainability and food security and structurally identifies the sustainable drivers, and the pragmatic interventions that can critically contribute to the sustainability of food security within each stage of the FSC. A systematic review of articles from six databases was implemented. Thematic analysis was engaged to detect the sustainable drivers and interventions practised at each stage in the FSC for food security purposes. Six main themes of the drivers and interventions were derived from the analysis: food security governance involvement, input resource management, output management, information sharing, income, and technology. The result identifies the potential that quality management has on the mediating effect towards sustainable food security, through which a conceptual model for sustainable food security in the FSC was thus developed. It is deduced that mapping and categorizing the drivers and intervention of sustainable food securities could help deepen the understanding of effective and innovative practices towards food security in the FSC.

The COVID-19 pandemic and locust swarm outbreaks pose a significant threat to global food systems, causing severe disruptions in both local and international food supplies from farm to fork. The main objective of this study is to understand and identify the disruptions during the crises and create a map of how resilience can be established to recover and sustain the food supply chain (FSC) functions as well as food security. The detrimental impacts of the compound crises on the FSC are explored and the effects of the affected areas are estimated under optimistic and pessimistic scenarios. As a response to the disruption caused by the crisis in FSCs, reactive and proactive solutions are proposed to develop resilience at the food sector level. In the short term, the reactive solutions, consisting of smoothing the food demand, supply and delivery, and food production and processing, can be borrowed. In the long term, the proactive solutions can be conducted by developing multi-level short intertwined FSCs. Our comprehensive investigation of the resilience elements in diverse operations and potential strategies should contribute to the improvement of FSC resilience in the face of ongoing and growing threats.

Food Loss

About one-third of the food produced globally for human consumption is lost or wasted each year. This represents a loss of natural resources consumed along the food supply chain that can also have negative impacts on food security. While food loss occurs between production and distribution and is prevalent in low-income countries, food waste occurs mainly at the consumer level, in the retail and food service sectors, and especially in developed countries. Preventing food losses and waste is therefore a potential strategy for better balance food supply and demand and is essential to improve food security while reducing environmental impact and providing economic benefits to the different actors in the food supply chain. In this context, we specifically provide an overview of case studies and examples of legislation from different countries and actions carried out by the various actors in the food chain and by non-profit organisations to effectively prevent and or reduce food loss and waste. We also outline current limitations and possible research avenues. We conclude that the comparison and the integration of knowledge, and the awareness of where along the food chain, for which foods and in which countries the greatest losses are produced, is essential to decide where and how to target efforts in the most effective way.

The food sector is responsible for a considerable impact on the environment in most environmental contexts: the food supply chain causes greenhouse gas emissions, water consumption, reduction in cultivable land, and other environmental impacts. Thus, a change in food supply is required to reduce the environmental impacts caused by the food supply chain and to meet the increasing demand for sufficient and qualitative nutrition. Large herds of livestock are inappropriate to achieve these goals due to the relevant impact of meat supply chain on the environment, e.g., the land used to grow feed for animals is eight times more than that for human nutrition. The search for meat alternatives, especially for the intake of critical nutrients such as protein, is a consequent step. In the above context, this paper summarizes the health aspects of protein-rich food alternatives to meat and carries out a literature review on the life-cycle environmental impacts of this alternative food.

Komoditas minyak kelapa sawit merupakan komoditas unggulan di Indonesia dan 60% produk minyak kelapa sawit atau Crude Palm Oil (CPO) telah diekspor. Indonesia menjadi negara terbesar yang mengekspor CPO dan menguasai sekitar 62% pangsa pasar dunia. Namun, Indonesia menghadapi hambatan dalam melaksanakan ekspor CPO sehingga menyebabkan pelemahan neraca perdagangan dalam beberapa tahun terakhir. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui hambatan yang terjadi dan memetakan rantai pasok dalam proses produksi CPO, serta menganalisisnya. Dalam penelitian ini digunakan metode Food Supply Chain Networking (FSCN) yang dilakukan terhadap 24 perusahaan. Pengumpulan data primer diperoleh melalui informasi secara langsung, sedangkan data sekunder diperoleh dari dokumen/ publikasi/ laporan penelitian dari dinas/instansi maupun sumber data pendukung lainnya. Selanjutnya data diolah dan dilanjutkan dengan metode Porters Diamond. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat beberapa hambatan dari regulasi dan adanya kampanye negatif, serta peningkatan biaya impor. Penyebaran perkebunan dan teknologi yang tidak merata dalam negeri juga berkontribusi terhadap menurunnya ekspor produk ini. Pemerintah Indonesia telah mengambil inisiatif untuk menangani hal tersebut, yaitu dengan memenuhi beberapa syarat yang diajukan oleh negara-negara importir berupa hak paten, sertifikasi dan jaminan, bahkan dengan cara hilirisasi produk minyak sawit. Berdasarkan hal tersebut dan didukung dengan permintaan CPO yang terus meningkat, diperkirakan CPO akan terserap baik di pasar dalam negeri maupun pasar luar negeri.   Palm oil is a leading commodity in Indonesia and 60% of Crude Palm Oil (CPO) products have been exported. Indonesia is the largest country exporting CPO and controlling around 62% of the world market share. However, Indonesia faces obstacles in carrying out CPO exports, causing a weakening of the trade balance in recent years. This research was conducted to determine the obstacles that occur and map the supply chain in the CPO production process, and analyze it. In this study the Food Supply Chain Networking (FSCN) method was conducted on 24 companies. Primary data collection is obtained through direct information, while secondary data is obtained from documents / publications / research reports from agencies / agencies and other supporting data sources. Then the data is processed and continued with the Porters Diamond method. The results showed that there were some obstacles from regulation and the existence of a negative campaign, as well as an increase in import costs. The uneven distribution of plantations and technology in the country also contributed to the decline in exports of these products. The Indonesian government has taken the initiative to deal with this, namely by fulfilling several conditions proposed by importing countries in the form of patents, certifications and guarantees, even by way of downstreaming palm oil products. Based on this and supported by the increasing demand for CPO, it is estimated that CPO will be absorbed in both the domestic and foreign markets.

Buying Behaviour

Since COVID-19 was confirmed in Bangladesh in March 2020, the government have enacted stringent measures to prevent the spread of the coronavirus, which has had a significant impact on people’s lives. Food consumption habits of consumers have shifted as a result of declining grocery shopping frequency, negative income shock, and food prices shooting up. This paper aims to explore Bangladeshi consumers’ buying behaviour in association with the stress generated from a food supply shortage during the COVID-19 pandemic and the post-outbreak perception of the food industry, using a dataset with 540 online samples collected between July and August 2021. A two-stage cluster sampling method and self-administrated questionnaire techniques were adopted for collecting the data during the third wave of COVID-19. Using partial least squares path modelling (PLS-PM) and multivariate multiple ordered logit regression (MVORD) to reveal the pertinent structure between all the blocks, this study provides two key findings. First, a higher intensity of COVID-19 impact translates into higher food stress associated with income reduction and higher food prices. Second, food stress directly affects consumer buying and consumption behaviour. We strongly recommend connecting consumers with local producers and collective use of shared warehouses through institutions, policies, and reforms to prevent disruption in the food supply chain and to keep food prices stable. Additionally, food producers, distributors, stakeholders, and policy planners should strengthen the food supply chain to stabilize food security.
