• Abstract

    Resilience and adaptation in food supply chains are critical considerations in ensuring food security during times of disaster. This review investigates the challenges and opportunities that arise in the face of natural and man-made disasters by examining their impacts on the stability and functionality of food supply chains. The purpose of our research is to facilitate the development of more sustainable and resilient food supply chains that can navigate through the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic and other potential disasters in the future. By analyzing case studies and empirical data, the review highlights the importance of proactive measures in building a resilient supply chains and adaptability that increases the export volumes to raise national economy wealth in profit motive as well as the implementation of robust contingency plans, the development of adaptive strategies and the integration of technological innovations can boost a food supply chain. Furthermore, it explores the role of stakeholders, policymakers and international organizations in fostering a collaborative framework for mitigating risks and enhancing the capacity of food systems to withstand and recover from adverse events. The findings underscore the need for a comprehensive approach that prioritizes risk management, fosters sustainable practices and promotes inclusive decision-making to ensure the long-term resilience of food supply chains in the face of diverse and evolving challenges.
