Short description of contents:
Perishable food products generate significant waste and consume a high amount of energy due to quality and
safety maintenance requirements, stressing supply chains and highlighting the need to improve their efficiency
and environmental sustainability. Integrating the life cycle perspective in the fresh foods supply chains can
provide valuable insights for improving environmental sustainability. The primary objective of this study is to
show how each actor in the fresh food supply chain can reduce its environmental impact by using a life cycle
perspective. It also reveals the environmental concerns created by perishable products and current practices by
using a life cycle perspective that can be integrated into the supply chain. The study also explores how the
product-focused approach of the life cycle perspective can be integrated across the fresh foods supply chains to
reveal both intra- and inter-organizational practices.
