“…Besides, the adoption of risk assessment and life cycle assessment in food supply chains was shown to limit the adverse climate change impact on food safety (Feliciano et al, 2022). Moreover, blockchain technology can provide support to climate change adaptation and mitigation strategies for agri-food stakeholders (Van Wassenaer et al, 2021;FAO and ICTSD, 2020). However, there is a lack of empirical studies that identify the IJLM 35,3 moderating effects of FSMS 4.0 components on the impact of the CSFs on achieving climate neutrality (Acampora et al, 2023).…”

PurposeThe growing awareness of climate risks associated with food safety issues has drawn the attention of stakeholders urging the food industry to carry out a sustainable food safety management system (FSMS). This study aims to investigate whether the critical success factors (CSFs) of sustainable FSMS can contribute to achieving climate neutrality, and how the adoption of FSMS 4.0 supported by the Industry Revolution 4.0 (IR 4.0) technologies moderates the impact of the CSFs on achieving climate neutrality.Design/methodology/approachSurvey data from 255 food production firms in China and Vietnam were utilised for the empirical analysis. The research hypotheses were examined using structural equations modelling (SEM) with route analysis and bootstrapping techniques.FindingsThe results show that top management support, human resource management, infrastructure and integration appear as the significant CSFs that directly impact food production firms in achieving climate neutrality. Moreover, the results demonstrate that the adoption of FSMS 4.0 integrated with the three components (ecosystems, quality standards and robustness) significantly moderates the impact of the CSFs on achieving climate neutrality with lower inputs in human resources, infrastructure investment, integration and external assistance, and higher inputs in strengthening food safety administration.Originality/valueThis study provides empirical findings that fill the research gap in understanding the relationship between climate neutrality and the CSFs of sustainable FSMS while considering the moderating effects of the FSMS 4.0 components. The results provide theoretical and practical insights into how the food production sector can utilise IR 4.0 to attain sustainable FSMS for achieving climate neutrality.

“…But new innovative solutions are emerging. Van Wassenaer et al (2021) examine the feasibility of applying blockchain for climate action in agriculture and find that given the appropriate infrastructure and governance arrangements, this can be a transformative mechanism to increase traceability and accuracy of carbon accounting for food products. This technology can contribute to mitigation through creating a foundation for a global carbon database that can be monitored by all actors.…”

Today's climate‐turbulent world is rife with food insecurity—threatening economic development trajectories by stunting growth, subsequently reducing employability and labor productivity, especially for developing countries. The pandemic has exacerbated these adverse effects and reveals the critical need to put in place policies that can safeguard and sustain trade flows in agricultural products. For the vast majority of countries, food security cannot be guaranteed by domestic production alone. If certain crops are domestically untenable or yields are temporarily poor, imports are essential. Additionally, exports of agricultural products provide a major source of income for some of the poorest people around the world. This article explores the interplay between climate change, the production and the trade of agricultural products, and the resulting food security implications. It then examines the existing trade policies governing agricultural trade and provides recommendations for action at the global, regional, and country levels.

“…At the sectoral level, in addition to questions related to technical standards, questions remain regarding the scope of the information collected (whether it extends from grape to glass), whether thirdparty certification for certain matters such as sustainability will be included, and the breadth of access for producers, consumers, researchers, and regulators. High-level aspirations for digitalisation set out in Italy's CSP and Australia's DFAS now require operational action planning (Van Wassenaer et al, 2021).…”

PurposeThis study explores the impact of institutions, policies, and regulations at the global, national, and sectoral levels on digitalisation within the Italian and Australian wine industries.Design/methodology/approachDrawing on qualitative research data collected from interviews with key personnel in the wine industry, this study shows that both jurisdictions are at a similar stage of emergent digital development despite very different settings.FindingsAccordingly, the authors find that digitalisation is constrained by common policy and regulatory issues emanating at the global and national levels, such as a lack of data infrastructure and data governance, and the need for institutions at the local and regional levels to spur innovation, especially with SMEs.Originality/valueThis is the first study to analyse the role of policy, regulation, and institutional arrangements in digital diffusion using a cross-country comparison of the wine sector.
