Special topic solicitation: Smart Agricultural Product Supply Chain
• Currently, a new generation of information technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, artificial intelligence, robots, and blockchain are deeply integrating into the agricultural product supply chain, leading to the intelligent transformation of the agricultural product supply chain (from the field to the table). At the same time, global climate change, the global COVID-19 pandemic, and international trade conditions have brought many challenges to the agricultural product supply chain, which urgently needs to be empowered by information technology. The development of a smart agricultural product supply chain plays an important role in improving the efficiency of agricultural product circulation, reducing losses in agricultural product circulation, and ensuring the quality and safety of agricultural products.
  
  To further promote innovation in the smart agricultural product supply chain, our journal is planning to launch a special issue on "Smart Agricultural Product Supply Chain" to explore and exchange the latest achievements in basic theoretical innovation, key technology research and development, major product creation, and application model exploration in this field. The special issue is scheduled to be published in the first issue of 2023. We especially invite Dr. Yang Xinting, the director of the Key Laboratory of Agricultural Product Cold Chain Logistics Technology of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the executive deputy director of the National Engineering Research Center for Agricultural Product Quality and Safety Traceability Technology and Application, and the deputy director of the National Agricultural Informatization Engineering Technology Research Center, to serve as the guest editor. We welcome experts, scholars, and researchers in related fields from both domestic and international backgrounds to actively submit contributions.
  
  
  Scope of Contributions
  Including but not limited to:
  1. Research on agricultural product information perception technology throughout the supply chain.
  2. Research on intelligent quality preservation and transportation technology for agricultural products throughout the supply chain.
  3. Research on process optimization and collaborative decision-making technology throughout the supply chain.
  4. Exploration of new technologies and models such as low-carbon smart supply chains and intelligent flexible supply chains.
