The agri-food systems around the world are faced with the challenges from unprecedented short-term shocks and long-term supply and demand shifts. The need for transformation towards more sustainable and resilient agri-food systems has thus risen to the centre of attention of agribusiness industry and policy decision makers. Technological innovations in the areas of supply chain management, environmental protection, and nutrition improvement have a potential of playing an important catalytic role in such systematic transformations. This special issue includes 11 research articles examining a range of strategic and technological solutions aimed at facilitating the resilience and sustainability of agri-food systems to shocks such as COVID-19, pest infestations, trade restrictions, shifting diets and consumer preferences, armed conflicts, and extreme weather events. The research findings and insights provide implications for a wide range of food and agribusiness stakeholders including managers and policy makers.
