Abstract

The modern food supply chain (FSC) faces pressing challenges, including food fraud, safety and security issues, food waste and sustainability concerns. Simultaneously, consumers are becoming increasingly interested in understanding the origins and pathways of their food. To tackle these challenges, digitisation and traceable FSCs are vital. However, numerous obstacles hinder the widespread adoption of traceability in digital FSCs. This study identifies and explores interconnections between barriers to traceability adoption in digital FSCs through an integrated DELPHI and Fuzzy DEMATEL approach. The findings highlight that Education and Training Gaps (B13), Data Integration Challenges (B14), Data Silos (B10), Environmental Sustainability Concerns (B16) and Short‐Term Focus (B17) are among the most influential barriers, impacting several other challenges. To mitigate these barriers, the study proposes a nine‐pillar framework. The insights derived from this research can support government agencies, policymakers and agro‐food industries in advancing traceability adoption across digital FSCs.

数字化食品供应链可追溯性采用障碍实现食品安全和可持续性

现代食品供应链（FSC）面临着紧迫的挑战，包括食品欺诈、安全和保障问题、食品浪费和可持续性问题。与此同时，消费者对了解食物的来源和途径越来越感兴趣。为了应对这些挑战，数字化和可追踪的金融干细胞至关重要。然而，许多障碍阻碍了数字化FSCs可追溯性的广泛采用。本研究通过集成的DELPHI和模糊DEMATEL方法确定并探索了数字化FSCs可追溯性采用障碍之间的相互联系。研究结果强调，教育和培训差距（B13）、数据集成挑战（B14）、数据孤岛（B10）、环境可持续性问题（B16）和短期关注（B17）是最具影响力的障碍，影响着其他几个挑战。为了减少这些障碍，该研究提出了一个九支柱框架。从这项研究中获得的见解可以支持政府机构、政策制定者和农业食品行业推进数字化fsc的可追溯性采用。

期刊介绍： Business Strategy and the Environment (BSE) is a leading academic journal focused on business strategies for improving the natural environment. It publishes peer-reviewed research on various topics such as systems and standards, environmental performance, disclosure, eco-innovation, corporate environmental management tools, organizations and management, supply chains, circular economy, governance, green finance, industry sectors, and responses to climate change and other contemporary environmental issues. The journal aims to provide original contributions that enhance the understanding of sustainability in business. Its target audience includes academics, practitioners, business managers, and consultants. However, BSE does not accept papers on corporate social responsibility (CSR), as this topic is covered by its sibling journal Corporate Social Responsibility and Environmental Management. The journal is indexed in several databases and collections such as ABI/INFORM Collection, Agricultural & Environmental Science Database, BIOBASE, Emerald Management Reviews, GeoArchive, Environment Index, GEOBASE, INSPEC, Technology Collection, and Web of Science.
