About

Sophia P. Plakantara is a leading researcher at the intersection of digital transformation and risk management in agrifood supply chains. Her work focuses on leveraging Industry 4.0 technologies—including IoT, blockchain, and AI—to enhance food safety, quality control, and operational resilience. Her most-cited paper, "Transforming Agrifood Supply Chains with Digital Technologies" (2025, 21 citations), provides a systematic review of how digital tools can mitigate risks such as contamination, traceability failures, and food fraud, offering a scalable framework for the globalized food industry. In her related work, "Managing Risks in Smart Warehouses from the Perspective of Industry 4.0" (2024, 8 citations), she explores the integration of cyber-physical systems to address emerging hazards in automated storage environments. Plakantara’s contributions are particularly notable for bridging theoretical risk models with practical, technology-driven solutions, making her research highly relevant for policymakers, supply chain managers, and scholars. Her work is increasingly cited as a foundational reference for digital safety and quality risk management in agrifood systems.
