Fuzzy cognitive map based vulnerability analysis of agricultural products cold chain logistics: a perspective of carbon footprint

Abstract

As an important part of the development of a low-carbon economy, developing low-carbon logistics is an important measure to implement transform the economic development mode and cope with global warming. In order to effectively realize the low-carbon operation of agricultural cold chain logistics, a fuzzy cognitive map is employed to analyze the vulnerability of agricultural cold chain logistics on the perspective of carbon footprint. With the analysis above, the influencing factors of carbon emissions in cold chain logistics operations can be identified. Therefore, the carbon reduction strategy of the cold chain logistics of agricultural products can be obtained. Our findings can be as decision-making reference for relevant departments and enterprises to better formulate cold chain low carbon emission strategies and promote green logistics to achieve high-quality development.
