Abstract

Increasing consumer consciousness along with urbanization, trade globalization, and agro-industrialization in the last few years has led to an exponential growth of sustainability in food supply chains (FSCs). In order to withstand competition, manufacturing enterprises are implementing proactive strategies to accelerate their sustainability performance. However, there are many barriers in the effective execution of sustainable FSC in India. Understanding the impact of these barriers will help the manufacturers in effectively utilizing their resources and attaining an environmental and social FSC. The main focus of the paper is to identify the dominant barriers, which create hindrance in the adoption of the sustainability in the Indian food industry. Further, the relationship between the barriers is defined, and the most dominant barriers are classified from the suggested barrier list using interpretive structural modeling (ISM). The outcome of ISM has been taken as an input for MICMAC analysis, which classifies the barriers based on their driving and dependence power. The proposed integrated structural model will be helpful in comprehending the mutual relationships and dependencies among the barriers in the diffusion and implementation of sustainability in FSC. The suggested framework can be used as a tool by decision-makers to systematically overcome the barriers and develop strategies toward incorporation of sustainability in Indian food industry.
