“…Instead of a distant observation using pre-established observation criteria, it is the closest observation of occupational practice possible. The modified Delphi technique interview and work observation go hand in hand [60][61][62]. The researcher discusses, opens, and explores the intent and applied knowledge to make semi-structured inquiries more understandable.…”

Although the competence level in pharmaceutical cold chain logistics is adequate in the current healthcare sector, the future will be more unpredictable, disruptive, and chaotic than the world of today because of rapid technological changes, as well as social disruption. This work introduces and evaluates a new cold chain structure based on the enhanced reference process model (RPM) and reference architecture (RA) for the pharmaceutical cold chain competence design. The modified Delphi technique is used to design a systematic decision context to evaluate the improved RPM and RA and produce a competence design by obtaining agreement from a panel of experts. Ten experts in cold chain logistics took part in the modified Delphi assessment process to describe the model and architecture for an evaluation lead. They defined it as the assessment associated with the professional related to cold chain accreditation. Ten participants from six countries were asked questions regarding their expertise, abilities, and opinions in the first round, and their comments were collected. In the second and third rounds, comments and consensus were collected, which were set at 80% for RPM and RA. This work proposes an innovative scheme for developing occupational standards based on the RPM and RA, as opposed to the traditional method of employing functional analysis to establish occupational standards. This work can be further expanded to develop professional competencies in the pharmaceutical cold chain.

“…The expert group consisted of 13 participants, despite having reached out to 61 potential participants. The modestly sized expert panel has been supported by several researchers [ 11 , 19 , 32 , 50 , 51 ]. Furthermore, [ 11 ] suggests that 10 to 15 homogenous participants may be enough.…”

“…The exploratory nature of our study, rather than increasing group understanding or gaining group support, aligns with the modestly sized participant panel [ 11 ]. Several studies in food research have used similarly sized expert panels to produce consensus documents intended to support future research and practice [ 50 , 51 ].…”

Food innovations can create novel nutritious food, improve agricultural sustainability, and increase the agri-food industry’s market profits. Our study proposes a consensus definition of food innovations and forecasts food innovations that will be available to consumers in the next five years by using a Delphi study. Thirteen experts aged 35 to 85 from the US and the UK researching or working in agriculture and nutrition, public health, the agri-food industry, or food policy participated in three rounds of this Delphi study. The experts were chosen using the snowball sampling method. This study followed the implementation and data analysis guidelines popularized by the Rand Corporation. The consensus definition for food innovations (with 76.9% agreement) was that ‘food innovations aid in the development, production, or transportation of new food products, processes, or technology to promote human health, food security, or environmental sustainability’. The specific food innovations, which had over 69% agreement, are ranked as (1) plant-based meat alternatives, (2) personalized nutrition, (3) natural foods, (4) new genetically modified organisms, (5) regenerative agriculture, (6) urban agriculture, (7) packing innovations, (8) alternative flours, (9) improving shelf life, (10) supply chain technologies, (11) improved soil health, and (12) technology for traceability. The food innovation definition and identified specific food innovations could further connect the agricultural value chain to develop novel nutritious foods and improve agricultural sustainability. Agri-food industry specialists, practitioners, researchers, and policymakers can advance food innovation development and research pinpointing the specific food innovations along the agricultural value chain.

“…The impact categories that are the focus of this research were initially identified with expert consultation using a qualitative two-round e-Delphi method [ 11 , 12 ] with 13 participants. The first round was used to identify potential impacts of the Russia-Ukraine conflict on food supply chains based on the hypothesis that significant impacts on the effectiveness and responsiveness of global food supply chains are the result of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.…”

Food is one of the most traded goods, and the conflict in Ukraine, one of the European breadbaskets, has triggered a significant additional disruption in the global food supply chains after the COVID-19 impact. The disruption to food output, supply chains, availability, and affordability could have a long-standing impact. As a result, the availability and supply of a wide range of food raw materials and finished food products are under threat, and global markets have seen recent increases in food prices. Furthermore, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has adversely affected food supply chains, with significant effects on production, sourcing, manufacturing, processing, logistics, and significant shifts in demand between nations reliant on imports from Ukraine. This paper aims to analyze the impacts of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine on the effectiveness and responsiveness of the global food supply chains. A PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses) approach, including grey literature, was deployed to investigate six key areas of the food supply chains that would be impacted most due to the ongoing war. Findings include solutions and strategies to mitigate supply chain impacts such as alternative food raw materials, suppliers and supply chain partners supported by technological innovations to ensure food safety and quality in warlike situations.
