This systematic scoping review assesses the sustainability of four food system technologies (FSTs): plant-based alternatives, vertical farming, food deliveries, and blockchain technology. The review found a dominant focus on environmental sustainability in the literature, with gaps in research on public health and socioeconomic aspects. Significant gaps exist in empirical assessments of blockchain technology, plant-based seafood alternatives, public health impacts of food deliveries, and socioeconomic impacts of vertical farming. The authors emphasize the need for a holistic sustainability assessment framework to guide investment and development in sustainable food innovation.
