Sustainable Agricultural Supply Chains for Leveraging SDGS

Abstract

Agricultural crop suffers from perishability constraints. Every region cannot produce all types of required crop and food grains. There is need for cold storage to overcome the issues of perishability and at the same time efficient supply chain is essential to ensure equitable distributions of crops and food grains across the region, State as well as in the country. There lies a huge scope of earning revenues by exporting excess crops, food grains to selected regions or even abroad. Food security has become one of the biggest challenges in the modern era. This can only be solved by formulating an integrated crop planning of land for the entire region coupled with dedicated cold storage and warehousing system. This research study attempts to device a model for introducing mobile cold storage eco-system with the intervention of IoT ecosystem which is fundamentally backed by integrated crop planning of land.
