“…On the other hand, if the biofuel sources replace food crops and the latter move to natural areas such as unprotected forests, unmanaged pastures (scrubland), or extensive grazing areas (meadows), an indirect change of land use is generated. This replacement may lead to an increase in emissions (tradeoff between emissions and food security) [31]. This issue makes us must pay attention to land use for food security when thinking of biodiesel production from biomass.…”

The use of renewable energy is an important issue that is being promoted internationally. Considering the supply of fossil energy is increasingly depleting and requires a very long time to be renewed. One of the uses of renewable energy that is being promoted is the use of biodiesel as a substitute for diesel fuel. This utilization is carried out by mixing biodiesel with diesel fuel. The quantity of biodiesel blended with diesel fuel is following the rules in each country. That is why the biodiesel supply chain must be described to obtain minimum economic costs and environmental costs. This paper presents a comprehensive review of current biodiesel supply chain models. A study of the biodiesel supply chain’s current state concludes by highlighting the unaddressed area or the gaps existing in the existing literature by suggesting future research in the biodiesel supply chain, specifically in the area case study in Indonesia.

“…The goal of this model was to minimize the total costs and the total emissions across the supply chain. Orjuela-Castro et al [15] developed a multiobjective model for designing a biodiesel supply chain network that took into account all three aspects of sustainable development. They analyzed the relationship among the economic, environmental, and social dimensions in the biodiesel supply chain.…”

Effective design of biodiesel supply chain network can reduce many of its high production costs. There are various uncertain parameters in real world that if ignored may greatly affect the optimal configuration of the designed biodiesel supply chain. Scenario planning is a powerful tool which can help the decision makers for long-term planning under uncertainties. Therefore, in this paper, a scenario-based robust optimization model is presented for designing the biodiesel supply chain networks under uncertainties. Some of the parameters including demand, supply, costs, and environmental impacts have uncertain nature. For the first time, in this study, the values of these uncertain parameters are estimated by a proposed scenario-planning method. The presented scenario-planning approach is based on cross-impact analysis and visualization methods. Non-edible sources such as Jatropha, Norouzak, and waste cooking oil are considered as raw materials of biodiesel production, and for the first time Norouzak has been used as one of the sources in designing biodiesel supply chain. In addition, an environmental constraint is considered and the environmental impacts of all processes are obtained by Eco-indicator 99 method. The presented model can determine the number, location, and capacity of the facilities. The proposed model is implemented in a real case study in Iran for a 7-year planning horizon. The results show the effectiveness of the presented approach in designing the biodiesel supply chain networks under uncertainties.Publisher's Note Springer Nature remains neutral with regard to jurisdictional claims in published maps and institutional affiliations.

“…Food security (FS) includes sufficient and stable availability of food, timely and permanent access to them in quantity, quality and safety (CISAN-ICBF, 2013;IICA-PRODAR, 2009). The balance between logistic flows could affect the FS, given its effect on availability and access (Orjuela Castro & Jaimes, 2017;Orjuela Castro, Aranda Pinilla & Moreno Mantilla, 2019). When the offer exceeds the demand, a management focused on costs will generate that the closest producers and with the highest volume are those considered in the network, therefore a vision of food sustainability must guarantee a significant number of players and minimize oligopolies or monopolies (Farahani, Rezapour, Drezner & Fallah, 2014), the exclusion of farmers should be avoided and a balance with low costs.…”

Purpose: The location of actors and production, transformation, commercialization and distribution facilities generate the configuration of the perishable food supply chain (PFSC). The logistics network design (LND) lead to different supply, storage and distribution environments and result in flows, these logistics operations have an impact on the performance of the chain of fresh agricultural products. Specifically, in the PFSC with seasonality, a temporary imbalance between supply and demand is generated, which affects the balance in the flows and affects the losses, costs and response capacity. This research study that problem.Design/methodology/approach: A multi-echelon, multi-objective and multi-product model is established that determines the configuration of the logistics network of the PFSC with seasonally and allows actors to approach efficiency frontiers, which contribute to their permanence in the markets. The model was applied to the case of the perishable fruit supply chain, in a developing country, Colombia. The population information was taken from government surveys and studies, which allowed parameterizing the model.Findings: The application of model permitted to answer the next questions: How does improve the performance from PFSC through logistics network design? And, How the existence of smallholdings in food production and from retail merchants is preserved? In the perishable food supply chain.Social implications: Where the perishable food supply chain actors are located in non-efficient borders and their sustainability may be affected by competition factors, the stakeholders should focus on increasing food availability and reducing losses to improve access and therefore food security.Originality/value: A new model for the logistics network configurations of seasonal perishable fruit supply chain was development, the optimizing from five objectives with two sub-models is obtained, one for surplus and the other for the deficit moments. The model includes real conditions, such as, fruit loss due T0 and RH by different thermal floors and the means used for the transport of fruits in mountain areas at countries in route of development. The impact over the small producers, retailers and consumers in the times of scarcity or surplus was analyzed.
