The food industry is central to human beings and heavily impacts the lives of the entire society. Nowadays, the sustainable development goal and the introduction of new information and communication technologies have led food companies to deal with sustainability requirements. They require the implementation of sustainable practices that have the dual objective of improving the overall performance of the company itself and fulfilling the sustainable development goals. Research works on sustainable supply chain management practices in the food industry are quite fragmented, as they often consider just a part of the chain. Therefore, through a systematic literature review, the aim of this project is twofold: first, to provide an up-to-date analysis of supply chain management practices within the scope of sustainability, studying the findings of 224 reviewed papers.
