Food security is the principal outcome of any given food
system and it can be defined in terms of a sustainable food
system where the core goal is to feed everyone sustainably,
equitably and healthily. A sustainable food system addresses
needs for availability, affordability and accessibility, is diverse,
ecologically-sound and resilient, and builds the capabilities
and skills necessary for future generations. This paper
identifies the essential elements of food supply chain
management in support of a sustainable food system, which
ultimately enhances food security. The existing food supply
chain and food system literature is synthesized in order to
study the correspondence between public interests towards
sustainable food and corporate interests. Giant food retailers,
food processors and manufacturers, and food service supply
chains in particular, extend their global reach, influence food
culture and may be more important in shaping food systems
than governments. Thus, the paper proposes food security
frameworks for both upstream and downstream supply chain
management. It concludes that sustainable food system
thinking and societal orientation towards food security can
hold the key to unlocking the next wave of food supply chain
innovation and growth, and offers implications and
suggestions for future research.
