Abstract

Food waste and spoilage are major problems in agricultural value chains. The increasing population growth necessitates higher food production which negatively impacts the environment that the agricultural sector needs to be cognisant of. To manage carbon emissions, reduce waste and pollution, and improve efficiencies at contained costs, technology management practices and technologies such as sensors, AI, big data, blockchain, robotics and drones are used to promote sustainability and record real- time information for better decision-making. This paper used a desktop literature review to interpretatively investigate technology management practices in agro-processing through the circular economy to ensure sustainable agri-value chains while improving efficiencies in the agricultural processes in a cost-effective manner. The NRBV lens was used to review the ecological, economic and environmental resources. The paper concludes that an agri-value chain and not only organisational approach will result in wider and more sustainable benefits through technology management practices.
