Abstract

This study investigates the transformative impact of digitalisation on the agri-food supply chain (AFSC), with a focus on operational sustainability. Through a comprehensive bibliometric analysis of 438 documents from the Web of Science (WoS) and SCOPUS databases, key research streams within AFSC literature are identified. The study highlights how digitalisation enhances efficiency, traceability, and sustainability, while also presenting challenges such as technological barriers and cybersecurity risks. Complementing the literature review, 24 interviews were made with AFSC members and stakeholders (including raw material producers, processors, manufacturers, retailers, logistic service providers and trade associations) to provide practical insights into the adoption and impact of digital solutions. The findings underscore the necessity for tailored digital strategies across different AFSC sub-sectors, emphasizing the role of digitalisation in improving operational resilience and sustainability.
