Abstract

Agri-food value chains are complex systems comprising of a network of interlinked and interdependent actors. To foster collaboration between these actors, trust between actors and in value chains is considered to be key. Despite growing scholarly attention an overview of to what extent and how trust is the role of trust in agri-food value chains is lacking. Employing a systematic review, this paper aims to explore the literature on trust in agri-food value chains to provide a solid knowledge basis for future studies into more specific aspects of trust. For our results, 139 papers were analysed published between 2001 and 2020. Studies were mainly conducted in Africa and Europe focussing on meat and vegetable chains. The results show a growing but dispersed field as studies hold a great conceptual diversity and theory building within the field of agri-food value chains is lacking. Based on our analysis we call for developing a coherent body of knowledge exploring the role of trust in agri-food value chains by: (1) employing a dynamic perspective on trust; (2) focussing on trust in agri-food value chain systems; and (3) focussing on the increasing importance of digitalisation for trust relations.

对农业食品价值链的信任:系统回顾

农业食品价值链是一个复杂的系统，由相互联系和相互依存的行动者组成。为了促进这些参与者之间的合作，参与者之间和价值链中的信任被认为是关键。尽管越来越多的学者关注信任在多大程度上以及如何在农业食品价值链中信任的作用的概述是缺乏的。本文采用系统回顾的方法，旨在探索农业食品价值链中信任的文献，为未来更具体的信任研究提供坚实的知识基础。我们的研究结果分析了2001年至2020年间发表的139篇论文。研究主要在非洲和欧洲进行，重点是肉类和蔬菜链。研究结果表明，农业食品价值链研究领域不断扩大，但研究领域分散，研究概念多样性大，缺乏农业食品价值链领域的理论建设。根据我们的分析，我们呼吁建立一个连贯的知识体系，通过以下方式探索信任在农业食品价值链中的作用:(1)采用动态信任视角;(2)注重对农业食品价值链系统的信任;(3)关注数字化对信任关系日益增长的重要性。
