Cover Story: Food production can have a large impact on sustainable development in relation to various socio-ecological dimensions like climate change, environment, animal welfare, livestock epidemiology, and economy. To develop sustainable food systems, there is a need for an integrated approach that considers both the entire food production chain and these dimensions. This paper systematically reviewed and synthesized literature related to food production in Sweden, especially in association with resource distribution and recycling logistics. The scope of the review was informed by a stakeholder workshop. This review demonstrates that a number of sustainability interventions, suggested in the literature, involve potential synergies and trade-offs among the dimensions. Moreover, the review highlights important knowledge gaps about the nature of the relationships between interventions and dimensions. View this paper
