“…<<Insert Figure 2>> <<Insert Figure 3>> The need for SC to ensure effective scaling-up of sustainability initiatives such as climate smart agriculture scheme in the CI is driven by economic, social and environmental imperatives (Akrofi-Atitianti et al 2018;Amlalo and Oppong-Boadi 2015). SC is critical to the different levels of decision making and governance systems with a typical agricultural production chain (Despoudi et al 2018;Wigboldus et al 2017). Hence, the willingness and ability to identify the various ways in which practices, systems, and their impacts are assessed by stakeholders is cardinal to the success of innovation adoption and implementation.…”

Although collaboration is vital in addressing global environmental sustainability challenges, research understanding on stakeholder engagement in climate-smart production innovation adoption and implementation, remains limited. In this paper, we advance knowledge about stakeholder collaboration by examining the roles played by stakeholders in scaling up ecological sustainability innovations. Using the illustrative context and case of green cocoa industry in Ghana, the analysis identified three distinctive phases of stakeholder engagement in ecological sustainability innovations implemented from 1960-2017. We highlight defining periods of ecological challenges encompassing the production recovery sustainability initiative phase solely driven by the Ghana Cocoa Board (COCOBOD)-a governmental body responsible for production, processing and marketing of cocoa, coffee and sheanut. During the period, major initiatives were driven by non-governmental organisations in collaboration with COCOBOD to implement the Climate-Smart agriculture scheme in the cocoa sector. The findings have implications for cocoa production research and stakeholder collaboration in environmental innovations adoption.

“…This higher food miles leads to higher fuel consumption, carbon emission, pollution, environmental degradation and global warming (Rajkumar 2010). High level of collaboration between producers and cooperatives may help to reduce such losses (Ghadge et al 2017;Despoudi et al 2018). The simultaneous consideration of food quality and sustainability has made the food supply chain more complex (Van Der Vorst et al 2009).…”

The procurement of food grains from farmers and their transportation to regional level has become decisive due to increasing food demand and post-harvest losses in developing countries. To overcome these challenges, this paper attempts to develop a robust data-driven supply chain model for the efficient procurement of food grains in India. Following the data collected from three leading wheat producing Indian regions, a mixed-integer linear programming model is formulated for minimising total supply chain network costs and determining number and location of procurement centres. The NK Hybrid Genetic Algorithm (NKHGA) is employed to cluster the villages, along with a novel density-based approach to optimise the supply chain network. Sensitivity analysis indicates that policymakers should focus on creating an adequate number of procurement centres in each surplus state, well before the start of the harvesting season. The study is expected to benefit food grain supply chain stakeholders such as farmers, procurement agencies, logistics providers and government bodies in making an informed decision.

“…Besides the key factors above, we summarized other factors coming from the literature; see [23,44,71,[73][74][75][76][77][78][79], shown in Figure 6. This fish-bone frame helps researchers to comprehensively understand the possible root causes of FLW generation from the perspectives of both a specific FSC stage and the entire FSC.…”

Alongside the development of the circular economy and sustainable food supply chains (FSCs), research on food loss and waste (FLW) reduction and prevention has drawn much attention from academia, practitioners, and governments. The significance of FLW has been highlighted in the literature due to its impact on society, economy, and the environment. We propose a conceptual framework to systematically examine FLW issues within FSCs in the field of operations management (OM). We discuss various types and distribution modes of FSCs where FLW occurs, definitions of FLW, the impacts of FLW, and measures to reduce FLW in the OM field. We further introduce the methodologies that have been applied in existing FLW studies. The contribution of this paper is threefold. First, it proposes a conceptual framework to identify FLW problems within FSCs. Second, it helps to comprehensively understand FLW occurrence and thus stimulate research focusing on FLW from different perspectives. Third, it motivates researchers to discuss FLW issues by applying different methodologies.
