Food system technologies (FSTs) are being developed to accelerate the transformation towards sustainable food systems. Here we conducted a systematic scoping review that accounts for multiple dimensions of sustainability to describe the extent, range and nature of peer-reviewed literature that assesses the sustainability performance of four FSTs: plant-based alternatives, vertical farming, food deliveries and blockchain technology. Included literature had a dominant focus on environmental sustainability and less on public health and socio-economic sustainability. Gaps in the literature include empirical assessments on the sustainability of blockchain technology, plant-based seafood alternatives, public health consequences of food deliveries and socio-economic consequences of vertical farming. The development of a holistic sustainability assessment framework that demonstrates the impact of deploying FSTs is needed to guide investments in and the development of sustainable food innovation.

对食品系统中垂直农业、植物性替代品、食品配送服务和区块链的可持续性进行系统范围审查
正在开发粮食系统技术(FST)以加速向可持续粮食系统的转型。在这里,我们进行了系统性的范围审查,考虑了可持续性的多个维度,以描述同行评审文献的程度、范围和性质,这些文献评估了四种 FST 的可持续性绩效:基于植物的替代品、垂直农业、食品配送和区块链技术。纳入的文献主要关注环境可持续性,较少关注公共卫生和社会经济可持续性。文献中的空白包括对区块链技术的可持续性、植物性海鲜替代品、食品运输的公共卫生后果以及垂直农业的社会经济后果的实证评估。需要制定一个全面的可持续性评估框架来展示部署金融服务税的影响,以指导可持续食品创新的投资和发展。
