Abstract
- The topic of sustainability is trending upwards more and more, and it may be related to almost anything, no matter the scale. In this case, one may speak of a sustainable way of life (Hart, 1997), so an individual perspective or a sustainable supply chain or industry (Ahi and Searcy, 2013). The present paper aims at assessing the researchers interest in the sustainability of the dairy and fruit supply chains, since they are representative food groups for the majority of the population and the globalization phenomenon has dramatically changed peoples' choices of food products, some of them requesting products that are far from them without knowing the production process or the logistic chain, which makes both the choices and the supply chains unsustainable. The papers indexed in the Web of Science data base regarding "sustainable dairy" and "sustainable fruit" are bibliometric analysed and their main concepts are exposed through the Vos Viewer software, version 1.6.7.(Van Eck and Waltman, 2014). The main results show that even if the interest in these topics is on an ascending trend, the attention given by the researchers is very low. The main concepts used in the analysed papers concern the consumer requests of sustainable products, challenges towards a sustainable farming practice and food security. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
