“…Consequently, future researchers should address the lack of studies examining the impact of the pandemic on small and medium food enterprises in developing countries [178]. Furthermore, measures and strategies to increase developing countries' preparedness for similar catastrophes deserve further attention considering resource scarcity, inflation rates, and economic difficulties [4]. Finally, the articles in the fourth and fifth clusters discuss the risk mitigation strategies to boost FSC resilience and the impact of the pandemic on seafood systems.…”

Recently, the food supply chain (FSC) has been severely disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, putting the vital flow of food products from farmers and producers to the ultimate consumers at risk. Furthermore, due to the pandemic, several food organizations have been prompted to rethink their strategies for the future. Although the literature on FSC research in the COVID-19 era is increasing, no attempt has been made to summarize this stream of research using bibliometric techniques. This paper fills this knowledge gap and looks at the current scholarly discourse around the FSC and COVID-19. Applying bibliometric techniques, 287 journal articles were extracted from Scopus and analyzed to determine the temporal evolution of FSC research, the most productive journals, researchers, countries, and the most relevant keywords and publications. To construct a keyword co-occurrence network and categorize the relevant literature, we used the computer program VOSviewer. The findings demonstrate the rapid expansion of FSC research during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the top authors, publications, and nations for scientific output were also determined. Keyword co-occurrence network and detailed qualitative analysis both illustrate that FSC research revolves around six main themes: the impact of COVID-19 on the FSC and agriculture, FSC resilience, food waste and insecurity, fisheries and aquaculture, blockchain technology, and governance and innovation. This study represents the first effort to map worldwide FSC research in the COVID-19 era and draw on a comprehensive collection of journal articles and bibliometric approaches. It offers academics, practitioners, and decision-makers a snapshot of the state of the art in the FSC field and points to where further research is needed.

“…Without any question, the economic crisis caused by the COVID-19 pandemic has led to a global recession, the likes of which the world has not experienced since the Second World War. The scale of the effect is considerable, owing to globalization [4]. Many importing nations depend on food exporters to provide crucial food products [5].…”

The COVID-19 pandemic affected agri-food systems worldwide. However, while the impacts differed from one country/region to another, the scholarly literature seems to focus on developed countries in the Global North. Consequently, this review scrutinizes the literature on the pandemic’s impacts in the Near East and North Africa (NENA) region. A search on the Web of Science in March 2023 generated 334 documents, of which 151 were eligible for inclusion in the systematic review. According to the bibliometric analysis, the most active nations are Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, the United Arab Emirates, and Lebanon. In general, the coverage of studies is better in the Gulf region than in the less developed countries of North Africa and those suffering from wars (cf. Libya, Syria, and Yemen). Studies generally focus on crop production and the downstream food chain (cf. distribution and consumption). While the pandemic influenced every pillar of food security, this research concentrates on access and utilization. Meanwhile, the lion’s share of the literature deals with the pandemic’s socio-economic effects, especially those linked to food (in)security and health. The pandemic, which laid bare the agri-food system vulnerabilities, should be seized to foster the transition towards more resilient agri-food systems in the NENA region.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by Severe Acute Respiratory SyndromeCoronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a global health issue resulting in mortality and morbidity across the world. There is an urgent need to find treatments to inhibit virus infections and their consequences. Propolis compounds are predicted to have interactions with the SARS-CoV-2 protein since it has various phytochemicals that have been used in medicine. Here, we conducted in silico study to analyze the interaction between propolis compounds and SARS-CoV-2 spike protein by performing molecular docking. The target protein of this research is the crystal structure of the SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain (RBD) bound with ACE2 (PDB ID: 6M0J). The ligand of this study is the bioactive compounds from Propolis of Tetragonula sapiens. The docking analysis revealed that Broussoflavonol F and Glyasperin A were the most promising propolis compounds that potentially block the binding of the SARS-CoV-2 spike protein to the host ACE2 receptor, with the binding affinity of -7.6 kcal/mol and -7.3 kcal/mol and the geometric score of 4582 and 4382, respectively. Based on this finding, those compounds are the potential to be developed as COVID-19 drug candidates.
