The COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the need for resilience in food supply chains, leading to increased research on risk management, supply chain flexibility, and crisis response strategies.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Agricultural Practices:
Research focusing solely on conventional agricultural practices without integration of sustainability or technology is becoming less prevalent as the agricultural sector moves towards more innovative and sustainable approaches. - Local vs. Global Market Dynamics:
Studies that exclusively examine local market dynamics without considering global influences are declining, as the interconnectedness of global supply chains becomes increasingly significant. - Static Economic Models:
The use of static economic models that do not incorporate dynamic factors such as consumer behavior changes or environmental impacts is decreasing, with a preference for more comprehensive, adaptable models. - Single-Disciplinary Approaches:
Research that does not integrate multiple disciplines, such as economic, social, and technological perspectives, is less common, as the complexity of agribusiness challenges necessitates a broader approach. - Focus on Traditional Crop and Livestock Production:
There is a noticeable reduction in research centered on traditional crop and livestock production methods, as interest shifts towards innovative practices, including urban agriculture and alternative proteins.
