Research opportunities
Shiyi's current research focuses on optimisation and decision-making in the short food supply chains by integrating Internet of Things (IoT) information and Geographic Information System (GIS) analytics to achieve the sustainability objectives. To achieve a sustainable food supply chains, consumers intend to avoid intermediaries, thereby shortening the food supply chain. However, the short food supply chain still has several limitations such as limited production capacity, higher transportation costs, and limited geographical location. The integration of the internet of things and big data analytics, especially GIS analytics, could have the potential for solving this issue.
