Findings from University of Sussex in the Area of Sustainable Economy Reported (Innovation for Zero-deforestation Sustainable Supply Chain Management Services: a Performance Measurement and Management Approach).

A study conducted by the University of Sussex in the United Kingdom explores the negative environmental impacts of the food sector supply chains, particularly in relation to global food commodity production and tropical deforestation. The research investigates the potential of innovative supply chain monitoring services to address these impacts. The study combines performance measurement and management (PMM), sustainable supply chain management (SSCM), and decision theory (DT) to develop a theoretical framework for addressing the complexities of sustainable supply chains. The research concludes by presenting a future research agenda to further understand and develop network-level performance measurement and management systems to address deforestation impacts in food supply chains.
