Bibliometric Analysis of Sustainable Digital Technologies for Reducing Waste in the Food Supply Chain

Digital Technologies are significant in improving transparency and reducing wastage in organizational settings. This study examines the digital technologies and innovations involved in the food supply chain. The literature outlines that these technologies can significantly reduce waste and enhance transparency throughout the supply chain. Therefore, this study aims to identify sustainable technologies within the food supply chain that contribute to reducing food waste at sourcing, production, and distribution. This paper’s methodology involves conducting a bibliometric analysis. The analysis uses data from Scopus database articles published between 2004 and 2024 (October). The analysis evaluates the trends in journals, authorship, and keywords to analyze research findings. The Visual representations of the above analysis are generated using VOSviewer. This study outlines that literature is discussed more on blockchain and IoT as key technologies. Blockchain improves transparency and traceability. IoT monitors conditions like temperature to prevent spoilage. AI and predictive analytics optimize operations and reduce waste. Mobile apps enhance collaboration and logistics. These technologies offer significant benefits. However, adoption requires customized strategies due to cost and complexity
