The proper mix of nanocellulose to a dispersion polar and nonpolar liquids creates emulsions stabilized by finely divided solids (instead tensoactive chemicals) named Pickering emulsions. These mixtures can be engineered develop new food products with innovative functions, potentially more eco-friendly characteristics, reduced risks consumers. Although cellulose-based emulsion preparation is an exciting approach creating products, there are many legal, technical, environmental, economic gaps filled through research. diversity different types makes it difficult perform long-term studies on workers’ occupational health, cytotoxicity for consumers, environmental impacts. This review aims identify some these outline potential topics future research cooperation. still concentrated in few countries, especially developed emerging low levels participation from Asian African nations.

The transition of Agri-Food Supply Chains (AFSC) toward sustainable patterns able to secure safe, quality, and affordable food whilst preserving natural anthropogenic ecosystems is a key challenge this century. Increasing production distribution operations' transparency impact visibility uncovers hidden complexities the ecosystem's externalities. To attempt, paper introduces novel Chain digital twin (AFSC-DT) virtualize agricultural, processing, warehousing, operations holistically from-field-to-consumer estimate economic, logistic, environmental, safety, nutritional indicators associated with any order, assumed as functional unit. AFSC-DT behaves control tower, providing multi-dimensional dashboard labels enhance practitioners' consumers' knowledge FSC entities operations. practitioner's drives top-down operational tactical feedback controls through real-time monitoring a-posteriori performance analysis, consumers, their informed choices, perform strategic bottom-up pressure on industry redesign. A what-if simulation analysis conducted over four virtual scenarios within regional horticultural AFSC proves how aids decision-making across echelons, stimulating virtuous cycle favoring progressive more patterns.

Purpose This study aims to comprehensively identify and categorize key indicators for halal-sustainable supply chain management (HSSCM) tailored small- medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the food sector, emphasizing economic, environmental social sustainability. Design/methodology/approach paper uses integrated approaches such as decision-making trial evaluation laboratory, interpretative structural model MICMAC investigate interconnectedness between environmental, halal-specific criteria sector SMEs. Findings highlights 16 crucial HSSCM SMEs within industry, organized into categories. The total relationship matrix shows important interdependencies indicators, like operational costs logistics, underscoring necessity a comprehensive approach. Additionally, cause-effect diagram self-interaction (SSIM) illustrate hierarchical relationships among these aiding strategic planning decision-making. Originality/value integrates broader range of reveals complex dependencies critical managing halal chains effectively. also offers robust framework integrating practices sustainability, supporting adopting ethical, environmentally conscious business strategies.

ABSTRACT The transition to a bio‐based economy promises path toward reducing greenhouse gas emissions while creating new business opportunities. However, sustainable implies shifting from high‐volume, low‐value biomass technologies advanced biotechnologies that minimize requirements and negative environmental impacts maximizing economic value‐added. This accelerated innovation process, which we define as bioeconomy upgrading, will likely reshape value chain structures affect benefits distribution. Yet, previous studies have ignored the relationship between chains technological change in bioeconomy. Using qualitative approach based on mapping, develop an overarching conceptual framework six representative models of study nexus innovation, chains, social sustainability is illustrated with up‐to‐date examples validated through expert survey. We find upgrading associated shorter more vertically coordinated leading role by big firms, higher levels research cooperation among firms. Finally, argue these changes organizational coming may expose most vulnerable actors risks thus propose some lines thought regarding potential distributional effects.

Research and practice increasingly recognise the importance of measuring social sustainability in agri-food sector to produce sustainable food for consumption. As a result, diverse set indicators has been developed addition better-studied environmental economic dimensions. However, these are dispersed literature, resulting limited structured knowledge dimension sustainability. This study provides Systematic Literature Review 128 research articles on assessing systems. By conducting an in-depth analysis relevant sector, creates centralised base guide empirical investigations Thirty-six were identified into eight themes. These have analysed along key dimensions decision-making: spatial scale, type system, Theory Change (ToC) level, temporal scale. Indicators found at farm, community/local, regional, supra-regional scales. Regarding predominantly used integrated cropping systems less exclusive analyses, livestock, forest, plantation-based systems, aquaculture, fisheries. Activity level most dominant considering levels ToC. On aspects, keywords related identical before after SDGs but have, average, much more since advent 2015. A word embedding algorithm detected shifts debate, with issues water access, gender equity, participation becoming important The results open up fruitful avenue integrating decision-making processes production.

In this study, the supply chain system of food (FSC) is assessed. Initially, operations farmers are examined using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) technique. Then, locations relatively efficient used as potential collection sites for distribution at downstream operations. Next, Multi-Objective Optimization Model proposed to examine location and channels under sustainability paradigm. That is, economic criterion primarily considered by focusing on minimizing total cost.
