“…Thereby, companies in the food sector in Brazil prioritize economic issues of sustainable use to select suppliers, and have a growing interest in environmental criteria as these result in market value. However, social and ethical issues, as important as the others, still have little importance and visibility in this sector (Galuchi et al, 2019;Freitas et al, 2020;Pereira et al, 2020).…”

Paper aims: This research proposes to apply the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process method for the supplier's selection in a Brazilian food company. Originality: It is the first time that food security has been incorporated as a first-level criterion in a process of selecting suppliers in a Brazilian food chain. Research method: Practical application was carried out in a food company located in Brazil. Main findings: Safety is the most important criteria when selecting a supplier, which ended up reflecting the placement of Supplier 3 as the best rated. Implications for theory and practice: This research provides the first practical application of a hybrid mathematical technique in the process of selecting suppliers in a Brazilian food chain, evaluating the Food Security criterion on an equal basis with the others, and not as a sub criterion. The model can help managers better understand their suppliers' capabilities and performance.

“…Second, we thoroughly read each paper and categorized them into four categories, such as risk identification (n = 7, 7.36%), assessment (n = 16, 16.84%), mitigation (n = 71, 74.75%), and monitoring (n = 1, 1.05%) (see Appendix V). In this process, some studies (e.g., [9], [62]) identified AFSC risks and also proposed risk mitigation measures, so we categorized them under risk mitigation. Other studies such as [8] and [63] conducted an analysis of different AFSC risks involved risk identification and assessment; thus, we categorized them under risk assessment.…”

“…The literature presents many AFSC risk sources and risk categorizations [9], [66]. Early attempts to categorize AFSC risk adopted binary classifications, such as internal and external risks, risk arising from either intentional or unintentional causes, and macro-and microrisks [17], [67].…”

“…For example, AFSC risks have been classified into three categories based on their level in the supply chain network: 1) risks from sources within the firm (process and control risk); 2) risks from sources external to the firm but internal to the supply chain network (supply and demand risk); 3) risks from sources external to the supply chain network (environmental risk) [66]. Pereira et al [9] extend this to six categories with the inclusion of sustainability risk, based on the assumption that the source of environmental risk lies in the macroenvironment, whereas the source of sustainability risk lies in the organization and supply chain. In terms of the supply chain process, AFSC risks can be classified into five categories: 1) sourcing risk; 2) delivery risk; 3) manufacturing risk; 4) infrastructural risk, and 5) environmental risk [43].…”

“…Risk can be viewed from various perspectives, including environmental risks from droughts, floods, forest fires, and earthquakes, supply risks relating to supplier reliability, information and communication technology (ICT) infrastructure, supply quality and supplier capability, demand risks arising from data errors, customer preferences and forecasting errors, and process risks from technological changes and production and transportation issues [8]. However, beyond these traditional sources, further risks relating to perishability, product contamination, storage and transportation, and climate conditions must also be considered [9]. These are likely to disrupt information, material, technology, and knowledge flows in AFSCs, causing discontinuity and reduced profitability [10].…”

Agri-food supply chain (AFSC) resilience is receiving increasing attention as AFSC stakeholders perceive its benefits in recovering from unexpected disruptions. However, which resilience capabilities are more effective in mitigating AFSC risks remains unclear. To address this gap, this article presents a novel AFSC risk and resilience analysis based on a systematic literature review (SLR). In total, 95 journal articles on AFSC risk and resilience management published between 2004 and 2020 are analyzed to identify key risks and resilience capabilities in AFSCs, the relationships, correlations and causalities between them, and research gaps and future research directions in the field. Our SLR reveals eight types of AFSC risk and seven types of AFSC resilience capability, and enables us to develop a one-to-one resilience-risk correspondence model. Suggestions for future research include: cross-country comparative analysis to gain a deeper understanding of risk and resilience management; identification of risk and resilience strengthening strategies through a multi-sectoral approach; longitudinal studies to determine the long-term effects of resilience capabilities; research to understand resilience from the perspectives of supplychain collaboration, traceability, redundancy, knowledge management, innovation, leadership, and flexibility; investigations of the positive effects of AFSC risks in triggering resilience capabilities; and cross-disciplinary research to understand the relationships between resilience and other disciplines.

As small companies do not have abundant resources and their mitigation and preparation capabilities for large impacts are minimal, this study presents an alternative that can be adopted to face crises resulting from pandemics and develop resilience to respond and recover from major disruptions. The study contributes to the supply chain resilience literature in investigating the gap related to supply chain capabilities for small and medium enterprises' resilience in developing countries. The focus was on micro, small and medium-sized Brazilian breweries. The growth in the number of breweries in Brazil has been a trend in recent years in all country regions. This trend represents an opportunity to develop the local market by generating jobs and strengthening small and medium cities economies. The research objective was twofold: analyze the adoption of resilience strategies from a minimal but possible perspective for small and medium companies (visibility, collaboration, and flexibility), and measure their capacity to anticipate, respond, recover, and learn/ grow from the pandemic's impact. Findings demonstrate the need for visibility and investments in digital transformation and flexibility for workforce reconfiguration and to adjust production to demand. Supply chain collaboration was demonstrated in re-negotiating credit with existing suppliers, finding new suppliers, and getting specific credit lines from the State and Federal Government. These pieces of evidence empirically support previous research findings, although most prior studies were concentrated on large organizations in developed countries. Future research should investigate emergent technologies for small and medium companies to handle supply chain outbreaks in developing countries.
