“…Due to intensified global competition in international trade, the maritime supply chain plays a crucial role in containerized freight transportation. To enhance maritime supply chain efficiency, Kashav et al (2023) identified and evaluated several strategies to overcome these barriers. Results indicate that dedicated feeder and hub ports, competitive port charges and modern equipment like automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and radio frequency identification (RFID) and ship profile scanning systems are key strategies.…”

“…Results indicate that dedicated feeder and hub ports, competitive port charges and modern equipment like automated guided vehicles (AGVs) and radio frequency identification (RFID) and ship profile scanning systems are key strategies. This research proposes a structured policy framework for the step-by-step implementation of these strategies to improve MSC effectiveness and efficiency (Kashav et al , 2023). However, other researchers have also investigated the role of Industry 4.0 technologies such as Blockchain to improve maritime and supply chain performance, and attaining certain Sustainable Development Goals that are related to food security and the environment (Tsolakis et al , 2021).…”

Purpose Existing literature is still lacking field works that reflect the implications and applications of blockchain in supply chain management. This paper aims to explore the role of blockchain technology in improving the performance of maritime shipping and develop a model to enhance blockchain applicability. Design/methodology/approach Qualitative data were collected through 28 semi-structured interviews from several supply chain actors in the Middle East and were analyzed based on a thematic analysis approach using NVivo software. Findings An emerging model for improving the performance of the maritime shipping industry through blockchain technology has been developed. The findings suggest that there are transparency and process efficiency–related improvements as an outcome of Blockchain implementation in the maritime shipping industry. Practical implications As shipping industry is largely fragmented, small players find it difficult to achieve great benefits such as those achieved by larger players in the sector. The authors’ model provides guidance for the implementation of Blockchain. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, this is one of the first scholarly works to investigate Blockchain applicability in shipping industry in the Middle East. The lack of a universal standard is a considerable challenge which is still hindering the development of blockchain applications that integrate the different actors.

“…Organic wastes may be also converted chemically by hydrolysis to sugars, which may be fermented to give bioethanol and further ethanol can be utilised in automotive sectors (Fahmy et al, 1982(Fahmy et al, , 2017Mobarak et al, 1982aMobarak et al, , 1982b. Organic agriculture is an attitude to practice that positively impacts environmental control, animal well-being, premium food quality, physical fitness, optimum resource application, and egalitarian society, and it also utilizes the market for fulfilling the objectives and recompense for the internalization of externalities (Garg et al, 2021).…”

Extant research studies support has stressed the significance of nourishment on the physical health of humans. Some of the past academic literature has also hinted at an interconnect between food, thoughts, and action that becomes especially significant in the current era of Anthropocene. Organic farming production and consumption can not only enhance economic well-being but also promote social well-being along with subject well-being. Beyond the individual level, a community level facilitates fostering physical emotional physical and emotional ecosystems. However, several studies have inferred seemingly dubious claims about the impact of natural food intake on the mental well-being of an individual. In light of this impinging need, this first-of-its-kind study focused to search the impact of organic food consumption on the cognitive behaviour of individuals. Interview-based qualitative field research with 30 peasants’ families was conducted in two phases in the model organic village of Manj Gaon of Uttarakhand. Results indicate that organic farming has positively impacted the mental well-being of the farmers, and apart from it, physical health, food security, and financial security are the fringe benefits for native organic farmers. However, there are many bottlenecks from the policy perspective such as non-availability of organic seeds, lack of marketplaces, lack of transportation infrastructure, and almost no facility of cold storage and warehouse, especially during the time of summer season. All these significantly hamper the adoption and sustenance of organic food production and consumption. Although many farmers exhibit the attributes of subjective well-being, as an outcome, it is rooted in the consumption of organic food, because better intake leads to a better thought process and eventually the results get reflected in the form of a better human being. To conclude, better thoughts, emotions, mind, and health of a human individual and society are strongly rooted in the adoption of chemical and pesticide-free food, i.e. organic.

“…Controlled environmental conditions are required for storage and transportation facilities for the safe and effective distribution of perishable items in order to avoid shelf life deterioration (Defraeye et al, 2016;Kumar, 2020) and quality (Smith & Sparks, 2004). The cold chain for perishable products is highly challenging and complex because of the perishable nature of food products and the uncertainty of environmental conditions (Garg et al, 2021;Soto-Silva et al, 2016).…”

The food industry suffers from huge wastage and losses in food products, and reducing this waste and loss is an issue in the food industry. Improvement in cold chain performance will result in the minimization of food losses and wastage. The reason for this review is to look at the causal connection between different issues with cold chain performance through empirical validation. According to the goal of the review, seven theories were proposed dependent on a thorough writing survey on issues in the cold chain of the frozen food industry. Evidence was found for proposed speculations. The results of hypothesis testing showed infrastructural facility, safety and quality, awareness and handling practices, and responsiveness to positively influence cold chain performance while increased efforts are required for appropriate implementation of integration, sustainability, and traceability. While the performance of the supply chain and parameters affecting it has been a critical exploration theme for more than many years, scarcely any examination has been led that centers explicitly on issues considered synergistically.
