摘要

摘要 数字创新可以提高食品企业的复原力和可持续性,例如提高效率、减少污染或提高生产条件的透明度。然而,有关这一主题的大部分研究都是在初级生产层面进行的,即研究技术对农场的影响,或者在研究数字技术对下游食品企业的影响时,仍停留在事前案例研究层面。我们在此认为,这一知识空白源于我们缺乏有关食品企业采用数字技术的单个公司数据(即微观数据)。只有掌握了这些信息,才能使用因果推理方法评估这些技术的实际影响。作为前进的方向,我们重点介绍了荷兰下游食品企业采用数字技术的独特数据集,该数据集可用于研究目的。我们的研究表明,数字技术在荷兰的市场渗透率已经相当高。因此,我们敦促科学界和政府统计部门在全球范围内收集和提供类似数据,并利用现有数据。此类影响评估将为向更具可持续性和复原力的食品价值链过渡提供信息,并加快这一进程。

How to Assess Digitisation Impacts on the Food Industry: The Dutch Case of Microdata Collection for Firms’ Sustainability
SummaryDigital innovations can increase resilience and sustainability of food businesses due to for instance increasing efficiency, reducing pollution or improving transparency about production conditions. However, much of the research on this topic has been done at the primary production level, i.e. on technology impacts on farms, or remains at an ex‐ante case study level when looking at digital technology impacts in downstream food businesses. Therefore, ex‐post impacts of digital technologies after their adoption are largely unknown.We here argue that this knowledge gap arises from the fact that we lack single company data (i.e. micro‐data) on the adoption of digital technologies in food businesses. Only with this information can actual impacts of these technologies be assessed using causal inference methods. As a way forward, we highlight a unique dataset of digital technology adoption among Dutch downstream food businesses that is available for research purposes. We show that digital technologies already have a considerable market penetration in the Netherlands. Therefore, we urge the scientific community and governmental statistical offices to collect and make available similar data globally and make use of the already existing data. Such impact assessments will inform and accelerate the transition towards more sustainable and resilient food value chains.

期刊介绍: EuroChoices is a full colour, peer reviewed, outreach journal of topical European agri-food and rural resource issues, published three times a year in April, August and December. Its main aim is to bring current research and policy deliberations on agri-food and rural resource issues to a wide readership, both technical & non-technical. The need for this is clear - there are great changes afoot in the European and global agri-food industries and rural areas, which are of enormous impact and concern to society. The issues which underlie present deliberations in the policy and private sectors are complex and, until now, normally expressed in impenetrable technical language.
