Abstract

Sustainability in the food supply chain is a top priority for various global and local entities, including companies, governments, non-profit organizations, academic institutions, and society. For example, in the 1990s, collaboration between civil society groups and the corporate world aimed to promote sustainability across global supply chains. This is achieved by creating formal organizations that set sustainability standards in sectors such as organic food, fair trade, forestry, and fisheries. The partnership highlights the need for collective action among supply chain participants to effectively address economic, social, and environmental challenges. This article discusses digital food supply chain sustainability research development through a systematic literature review and the influencing factors influencing digital food supply chain business performance. The method used is a mixed method, where in this research, a literature review was used using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) methods. The results show that research on digital supply chain sustainability began in 1998. From 2007 to 2019, the number of journal articles discussing digital supply chain sustainability relatively increased. From 2020 until now, it has decreased. This may happen because the COVID-19 pandemic started in 2020, and researchers may have difficulty conducting such multidisciplinary research. In addition, the SEM results show that only the economic sustainability variable positively and significantly influences the technological sustainability dimension variables and digital food supply chain business performance. In contrast, the other variables show a negative influence.
