Abstract: As people become more aware of the need for a better living; the demand for a sustainable food supply chain grows. To establish this system; industrial technology 4.0 is a driving force. This bibliometric analysis study sought to cluster the relationship between technology and sustainable food supply chain; and to identify the thematic keywords related to sustainable food supply chain. The data used were obtained from the Scopus database from the last 10 years. This study employed bibliometric analysis research procedures. The analysis was conducted based on trends; authors; countries; and journals while cluster analysis was conducted utilising Excel; VOSviewer; and Tableau applications. The findings successfully mapped digital technology in five clusters. Thus; each technology and development direction of each cluster can be identified properly to realise the sustainable food supply chain.

Keywords: digital technology; technology mapping; food supply chain; sustainable; bibliometric analysis.
