Green Supply Chain Management and Agricultural Performance

Abstract

The agricultural sector is critical to global food security, yet its operations have substantial environmental implications. The agriculture industry is under increasing pressure to implement more environmentally friendly practices. Green supply chain management (GSCM) provides a framework for increasing the environmental performance. This chapter examined the adoption of GSCM methods in agriculture and how they affect agricultural performance measures. Key GSCM techniques investigated include sustainable input sourcing, waste reduction, precision agricultural technologies, and the promotion of organic and regenerative farming. The analysis shows that implementing these green supply chain efforts can boost crop yields, reduce resource use, improve product quality, and increase profitability for farms and agribusiness. The findings provide direction for agricultural stakeholders to improve supply chain sustainability and transition to a more regenerative food production model.
