The assessment of sustainability at the level of the agri-food supply chain is complex.Achieving sustainability in agri-food chains requires coordinated interaction between chain actors. The aspect of coordination is rarely included in the assessment of sustainability and current assessment methodologies do not allow conclusions about the linkage between coordination and sustainability. This paper analyzes the state of the art in the assessment of agri-food supply chain sustainability based on a structured literature review. Following the structured review that includes category analysis and content analysis, we develop a comprehensive sustainability assessment framework for agri-food chains across multiple stages. The novelty of the framework is to incorporate the dimension of coordination across chain stages as a critical sustainability dimension. The study contributes to research on the assessment of agrifood supply chain sustainability by incorporating the role of coordination across chain stages and its relationship with economic, environmental, and social performance. This essential relationship between coordination and sustainability offers several areas of interest for future research. The study also contributes to practice by providing scholars, chain actors, and policymakers with directions for improving sustainable strategies.

农业食品供应链层面的可持续性评估是复杂的。实现农业食品链的可持续性需要链参与者之间的协调互动。协调方面很少包含在可持续性评估中，当前的评估方法不允许就协调与可持续性之间的联系得出结论。本文基于结构化的文献综述分析了农业食品供应链可持续性评估的最新进展。在包括类别分析和内容分析的结构化审查之后，我们为跨多个阶段的农业食品链制定了全面的可持续性评估框架。该框架的新颖之处在于将跨链阶段的协调维度作为关键的可持续性维度。该研究通过整合跨链阶段协调的作用及其与经济、环境和社会绩效的关系，有助于对农业食品供应链可持续性评估的研究。协调和可持续性之间的这种基本关系为未来的研究提供了几个感兴趣的领域。该研究还通过为学者、连锁参与者和政策制定者提供改进可持续战略的方向来促进实践。和社会表现。协调和可持续性之间的这种基本关系为未来的研究提供了几个感兴趣的领域。该研究还通过为学者、连锁参与者和政策制定者提供改进可持续战略的方向来促进实践。和社会表现。协调和可持续性之间的这种基本关系为未来的研究提供了几个感兴趣的领域。该研究还通过为学者、连锁参与者和政策制定者提供改进可持续战略的方向来促进实践。
