Creating Sustainable Value Through Innovation and Digital Transformation

Supply Chain Technologies

Sustainable Development Goals Series

This volume focuses on food supply chains (FSCs), a vital component of the food system, establishing that integrated cold chain logistics (CCL) are essential for modernising FSCs of perishable commodities in low and middle income countries (LMICs). It argues that the future development of CCL should be envisioned not merely as a means to reduce food loss and waste to meet Target 12.3 of SDG12, but as an infrastructural service with the potential to enable a sustainable, resilient, and inclusive transformation of FSCs in LMICs. Towards this, the volume examines integrated CCL through its connections to: (a) cooling infrastructure as a developmental necessity rather than a luxury; (b) a critical component of food system transformation for both climate mitigation and adaptation; (c) reliable access to safe, nutritious, affordable food, thereby enhancing food and nutrition security; and (d) expanded agribusiness and livelihood opportunities by strengthening the farm-to-market link. This comprehensive approach broadens the discourse on CCL beyond engineering and management perspectives; promotes the integration of the three pillars of sustainability - economic, environmental, and social; and supports climate adaptation to foster climate-resilient and inclusive rural transformation in LMICs. 
Framed within a global context to capture evolving market dynamics, technological innovations, and emerging trends, the book offers an in-depth examination of the challenges and developmental aspects of CCL. It explores the nexus between integrated CCL and sustainable development. It presents a comprehensive 10S Dimensions-based analytical framework that emphasizes value integration and multidimensional policy coherence to support context-specific, evidence-based policymaking in LMICs, while drawing insights from high-income countries. The volume also highlights the role of policy instruments in incentivizing food loss abatement and contributes to the growing scholarship on food loss modelling by treating abatement levels as endogenous variables in agent-level decision-making across food supply chains. It enriches the discourse on CCL development from an LMIC perspective through an analysis of India’s historical trajectory, public policy evolution, persistent gaps, and investment patterns. A detailed assessment of organized cold chain operations in India introduces a country-specific performance framework, capturing indicators such as productivity, energy intensity, profitability, and risk, aimed at improving governance and informing national policy. Finally, the volume advocates reimagining investment strategies in light of disruptive trends in infrastructure, urging a renewed, long-term orientation to support systemic transformation amid the dual crises of climate change and the COVID-19 aftermath.
Intended for post-harvest experts, industry practitioners, scholars, researchers, and policy¿makers, this volume guides critical, policy-oriented analysis of CCL development, aligning it with SDGs, climate resilience, public health, and food system transformation.&nbsp;
“This volume, Integrated Cold Chain Logistics for Food Supply Chains, offers insights. Drawing on interdisciplinary research and grounded in the realities of LMICs, the authors present a compelling case for why cold chains matter, what needs to change, and how to do it sustainably and inclusively. In doing so, they position cooling not as a luxury, but as an essential sustainable development investment for equitable and nutritious food access in a warming world.”

A Sustainable Development Perspective

Integrated Cold Chain Logistics for Food Supply Chains

As supply chain operations continue to be recognized as critical to the transition to a circular economy, this practical resource provides an actionable outline for supply chain professionals wanting to implement a circular supply chain.

The circular economy remains a common topic among supply chain professionals, especially in light of material disruptions, climate change pressures and the need to innovate on revenue models. Circular Supply Chains provides a bold vision of sustainability for supply chain designers, decision makers and operators to rally around. It will also, critically, provide a practical path on how to get from today's operations to the future of sustainable supply chains. Exploring topics like new digital technologies and the future of local supply chains, the book takes a practical approach including how-to checklists and circular supply chain examples. The book itself paints a vision and breaks theories down into reasonable, practical steps with concepts like repair demand sensing, supply planning, radical transparency and regenerative operations. This is an essential book for supply chain professionals keen to learn about how to transition to circular operations.

Managing and Operating Logistics Processes

Logistics, Transport and the COVID-19 Crisis

Routledge Focus on Economics and Finance

The post-Cold War era was widely associated with the Washington Consensus, which promoted economic efficiency, specialization, and trade liberalization as pathways to growth and social welfare. Globalization facilitated the rise of geographically dispersed production networks, known as global value chains (GVCs). For decades, firms benefited from offshoring by exploiting labour cost differentials, accessing cheaper resources, and entering new markets. However, since 2010, political and societal shifts have driven a collective reconfiguration of GVCs. Today, manufacturing systems are being reshaped by three major forces: digital transformation, climate change, and geopolitical tensions.This volume focuses on the latter - geopolitical disruptions - and examines their impact on corporate strategies related to trade and foreign direct investment. Firms increasingly respond by relocating operations, either through reshoring to the home country or through nearshoring to adjacent regions. The study investigates the drivers behind these decisions, comparing current reshoring patterns with previous disruptions, such as those during the COVID-19 pandemic. It also evaluates the role of policy frameworks in enabling relocation and considers how these may evolve. While the analysis centres on the European Union, it offers a global perspective on geopolitical risks. The book serves as a key resource for academics, practitioners, and policymakers seeking to understand international business and investment decisions.
