SYSTEMIC FRAMEWORK OF INTEGRITY, RESILIENCE, AND ANTIFRAGILITY IN THE FOOD SUPPLY CHAIN

Summary/Abstract: Objective: To outline and define systemic frameworks of integrity, resilience, and antifragility in the food supply chain. Materials and methods: A critical analysis of the literature, legal acts, standards, and guidelines directed toward broadly understood resilience against various types of threats was applied, along with synthesis and logical inference methods. Results: Various types of threats occurring in the food supply chain, both accidental and intentional, were presented. The concepts of food integrity and food supply chain integrity were defined. The definition of food supply chain resilience was indicated, and an original definition of food supply chain antifragility was proposed. Key management systems enabling the assurance of integrity, resilience, and antifragility were identified and characterized, along with methods, selected technologies, and guidelines supporting this process. Systemic frameworks of integrity, resilience, and antifragility in the food supply chain were presented and illustrated graphically. Conclusions: There are already numerous management systems that enable the shaping of integrity, resilience, and antifragility in the food supply chain. These include systems described in ISO 9001 (in its updated version planned for release in 2026), ISO 22000, ISO 28000, ISO 22301, ISO 27001, ISO 37001, and ISO 56001. Their implementation should take into account the necessity of applying food law and referring to appropriate voluntary methods of ensuring food safety, such as VACCP, TACCP, and CARVER + Shock, depending on needs. Organizations should consider integrating management systems appropriate to their operations, enabling cost reduction of system functioning as well as supporting internal and external assessments. Cooperation among all entities in the food supply chain is essential, along with fostering a culture of trust, quality, and food safety.
