… and the intelligence it produces. Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) have emerged as powerful tools to overcome some of the challenges regarding the sustainability of the global supply chain. They enable users to access information and experiences that would otherwise be difficult or impossible to obtain due to physical distance (Anastasiou et al., 2022; Hilken et al., 2017). By simulating real-world environments and overlaying digital information onto the physical world, AR and VR can create rich, interactive experiences that facilitate learning, collaboration, and decision-making. In the context of sustainability, AR and VR can help bridge the gap between stakeholders, such as smallholder farmers, consumers, and policymakers, for a better understanding of … challenges others face and promote more effective communication and collaboration among diverse stakeholders (Bertrand et al., 2018; Heller et al. 2021).
