Abstract
The main reason for writing this Editorial on the Special Issue 'Sustainable growth and
development in the food and beverage sector” is to acknowledge the brilliant contribution of
the researchers who have enriched the British Food Journal (BFJ) with their contributions.
This Special Issue contributes to the literature on the advancement of technologies and their
impact on individuals" behaviours, measures to be taken for environmental protection and
green consumption, extends research in the field of sustainable supply chain management,
consumer perceptions and reactions to food products and provides various tools to manage
individuals" behaviours. Previous studies have already identified changes adapted to the
environment. Consumers are becoming increasingly demanding and require their needs to be
met as quickly as possible (Baker et al., 2020). The literature also demonstrates the growing
interest of digitalization in institutions, even affecting customer consumption (Zhuang et al.,
2021). Selby et al. (2021) claim that individuals with low levels of physical activity, poor diet
and smoking tend to acquire higher risks on their adaptations. Another issue is the recent
COVID-19 pandemic. This has resulted in numerous restrictions in daily life, including social
isolation and lack of defined protocols (Jaworski, 2021). Individuals" lifestyles have been
modified, and they have had to adapt in order not to spread the virus. According to Ammar
et al. (2020), food consumption and eating patterns were characterised as more unhealthy
during confinement.
