Food Supply Chain Orchestration for Circularity: The Lost Food Project
研究了失食项目这一生态食品银行如何通过供应链编排促进循环经济，揭示了在环境和社会利润价值捕获、公共政策支持及意外后果方面的挑战。
Supply chains are vital units of analysis of the circular economy (CE), and network orchestrators are central to fostering the CE’s essential interorganizational collaboration. However, orchestration mechanisms remain poorly understood. We explore supply chain orchestration (SCO) as an innovative business model to promote CE. Our analysis of The Lost Food Project—an eco-food bank that rescues surplus food to address hunger in Greater Kuala Lumpur—suggests the need to adapt SCO for circularity (as SCO-C). We highlight the challenges that arise when organizations focus on SCO-C: capturing the value of environmental and social profits, the necessity of supportive public policies, and plausible unintended consequences.
