The article "Building Resilience in Food Security: Sustainable Strategies Post-COVID-19" by Mona Haji and Frank Himpel explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on food security and the need for integrating sustainability and resilience in food supply chains (FSCs). The authors conduct a comprehensive literature review, mapping existing research on sustainability and resilience within the context of food security. They categorize and analyze 26 relevant studies, focusing on the underlying causes of food insecurity, their impacts on public health, proposed strategies, and the interplay between sustainability and resilience.
Key findings include the need for resilient and sustainable practices to ensure food security, enhance public health, and address the challenges posed by the pandemic. The study highlights the importance of integrating sustainability and resilience principles, leveraging technologies like nanotechnology, blockchain, IoT, and RFID, and adopting life cycle assessment (LCA) to improve food systems' resilience and sustainability.
The authors propose a holistic conceptual framework for integrating sustainability and resilience in FSCs, emphasizing the role of these principles in ensuring food security and public health. They also discuss future research directions, including long-term impact assessments and the application of advanced technologies to enhance food security and resilience.The article "Building Resilience in Food Security: Sustainable Strategies Post-COVID-19" by Mona Haji and Frank Himpel explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on food security and the need for integrating sustainability and resilience in food supply chains (FSCs).
