Innovations in the agriculture and food industry are now rising in the air! Recent research is revealing the perfect potential of using drones in logistics and supply chain management in this sector. Examining 96 journal articles collected from Scopus and Web of Science, the study clearly reveals the key role of drones in the agri-food industry. The research shows that drones provide a significant advantage in optimizing last-mile deliveries in urban logistics as well, particularly in humanitarian logistics and supply chain management. However, it is also emphasized that more research is needed in areas such as security and consumer behavior. This rise of drone technology in the agri-food industry offers important clues on how transportation and supply chain processes can be transformed and optimized.
