A systematic assessment of multi‐dimensional risk factors for sustainable development in food grain supply chains: A business strategic prospective analysis

The food grain supply chain (FGSC) is composed of several links, stretching from the point production to consumption. A broken connection might produce a catastrophe. structural imbalance India's FGSC an obstacle achieving sustainability; this has be addressed if country preserve national security. This present study aims develop systematic assessment risks and priority risk-mitigating solutions in attaining sustainability Indian FGSC. Multiple groups individuals businesses involved have been surveyed interviewed, with their responses analyzed. total 31 risk factors 11 risk-reduction strategies are identified. Further, identified classified into five-dimensional criteria (environmental, economic, institutional, technical, social) by using exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Then, fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP), combined technique for order performance similarity ideal solution (FTOPSIS) method, adopted find most critical choose best course mitigation. finds that inability incorporate advanced technology imposes highest followed natural disasters. Ensuring end-to-end computerization like agri 4.0 need hour intercepting range risks. results may help policymakers create comprehensive mitigation plan taxonomy increase resilience.
