A conceptual framework to increase sustainability in the agro-industry supply chain: a systematic literature review and future research agenda

The concept of sustainability has been introduced in recent years to various fields, including development, management, technology, and supply chain. Generally, there have been many systematic literature reviews on the supply chain's sustainability over the last decades. However, this research focuses on the agro-industry sector, which provides information on trends, methodologies, key indicators, supply chain actors, and topics on the agro-industry sustainable supply chain. This systematic literature review (SLR) analysed articles published between 2011-2020 and obtained from the Google Scholar database using Harzing's Publish or Perish application. The selected papers were then processed using VOSviewer and Microsoft Excel. The data analysis results were consistent with the research questions and provided a background for further investigations to increase sustainability in the agro-industry supply chains.
