Leveraging disruptive technologies for food security: A systematic review on agricultural supply chain resilience to climate change.

Abstract

Climate change and global warming are increasingly recognized as major threats to agriculture and food security worldwide. It is a major problem for supply chains and food safety. Digital agricultural transformation and primarily disruptive technologies are among the primary solutions to overcome these challenges to ensure food sustainability. This research fills the gap in studies that focuses exclusively on analyzing disruptive technologies in the agricultural sector. The primary purpose of this research is to offer findings from the literature on the application of disruptive technologies to support food security and the protection of agricultural supply chains. Therefore, a systematic literature review was conducted to review the use of disruptive technologies in agricultural supply chains to address the challenges presented by climate change. A total of 65 selected papers were coded and analyzed according to technology type, country, commodity, and challenges faced. This review primarily seeks to provide answers to the following research questions: what disruptive technologies are being used in the agricultural sector in response to climate change and disasters? And what is the role of disruptive technologies in maintaining resilience in the agricultural sector in the context of climate change and disasters? We provide a comprehensive analysis that offers a broad and comprehensive overview of many important issues regarding the use of disruptive technologies in agricultural supply chains. This technology helps farmers make better decisions, enables effective and efficient resource management, and increases productivity.
