摘要

The food supply chain (FSC) is a complex and dynamic system that faces both challenges and opportunities in the era of globalization. It operates with an intense network of interrelated processes involving cultivation, processing, distribution, and consumption, ranging from production to consumption. However, this intricate network is susceptible to disruptions caused by transportation delays, regulatory discrepancies, geopolitical tensions, natural disasters, climate change, and disease outbreaks like COVID-19. The recent COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted the global food supply systems, reducing agricultural labor, transportation interruptions, shifts in demand, and trade barriers. Mitigating the impact of these disruptions is essential, leading to the building of resilient systems. This requires improving information sharing, enhancing supply chain visibility, implementing risk management strategies, fostering collaboration, adopting advanced technologies such as blockchain and Internet of Things, and investing in infrastructure innovation and human capital. Additionally, it is essential to embrace sustainability practices, including minimizing food wastage and supporting ethical procurement, which supports the resilience of the FSC. By addressing these challenges, decision-makers can reduce risks, ensure food security, and improve the efficiency and dependability of the FSC.
