What is it about?

Given the challenges of food insecurity and the environmental, social, and economic impacts of conventional food systems, the development of community food systems has emerged as an important research area in the field of Sustainable Human-Computer Interaction (SHCI). In this paper, we present findings from a systematic review of 48 peer-reviewed articles that examine the impact of digital technologies on sustainable food practices across different lifecycle stages of community food systems. Our comprehensive review outlines the distribution of research emphases on food production, processing, distribution, consumption, and waste management. This critical analysis not only highlights existing technology support, but also identifies research gaps and suggests opportunities for future SHCI research. By addressing these themes, we aim to contribute to a more holistic approach in SHCI studies and advocate for the development of inclusive digital technologies that connect various lifecycle stages to promote sustainability in community food systems.
