10. Future Challenges
• Carbon Footprint. There is some potential through improvements
in technology, but the developments have reached a state where
reductions in emissions are in conflict with energy use (Schiefer
& Deiters, 2015).
• Food Wastage. Consumers receive food in the right appearance,
weight, size and shape, so farmers waste large portions of their
crops instead of delivering them to the retail. Standardized
packaging additionally contributes to the problem of food waste in the
fruit and vegetable sector (Gobel et. al, 2015).

11. Recommendation
• Regional. Emphasizing involvements in the view of consumers a
multitude of additional ‘goodies’ such as trustworthy claims,
acceptable animal welfare considerations by responsible people, non-
GMO, et cetera (Schiefer & Deiters, 2015).
• Productivity. To avoid problems at the supplier end, Sama-sama
should create a department for supplier selection and evaluation
(Diabat, Govindan & Panicker, 2012).
• Risk Management. A risk management planning process is then
proposed to help SCM managers navigate through a logical sequence
of reasoning to establish a comprehensive risk management
strategy (Bandaly et. al, 2012).

12. Conclusion
• Overall, many of the options for food businesses and potential routes
to more sustainable food supply chains discussed can create benefits
both for the businesses involved and for others in the supply chain
from farmers to consumer (Smith, 2008).
