Governments across the world are pushing for speedier adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) in order to meet their target for transition to a greener and cleaner environment that has low or zero carbon emission. Transportation being one of the major contributors to environmental pollution because of incessant burning of fossil fuels. EVs are being considered to be the best possible solution to alleviate vehicular pollution. However, proliferation of EVs create additional burden on the power grids. The consumption of electrical power is steadily rising because of even-growing population and the demand is particularly higher during summer months due to higher use of air conditioners. To ease this pressure on the grid the novel vehicle-to-grid or V2G technology is being employed whereby idle electric vehicles can be put to use as giant batteries that can send power back to the grid to supplement its output. With the wide scale adoption of electrical buses is schools this turns out to be a feasible option. Battery driven school buses are best suited for this. These vehicles remain idle for major portion of the day and also during summer months and can be effectively utilized for generating electricity using their batteries. However, there are challenges involved in the implementation of this strategy. Besides lack of charging infrastructure and limited knowledge of owners about the nature and benefits of the implementation there are also problems of rapid battery degradation, lack of control on the vehicle and the process and high costs involved. Nevertheless, using literature review this article explains the rationale behind adoption of the technology and highlights, the strategies that can be adopted to effectively exploit this novel technology to make the most out of idle electric school buses to support public utilities. To an extent electric school buses and the v2g technology can be potentially helpful for stabilizing supply of electricity during peak hours and improve efficiency of supply chain management of several industries including the power sector.

The agricultural sector throughout the world has seen shifting significantly by suitably using e-technology. A good number of studies have been conducted on agriculture and food security. The growth rate of world organic farming or business increases to more than the growth rate of traditional agriculture. In Bangladesh the pace of growth of organic agriculture is insignificant. The organic agriculture or organic supply chain in Bangladesh was scarcely studied. Hence, an intensive study is needed for the organic agriculture industry to pursue the organic supply chain that leads to a promising growth of organic business. A great deal of research has been conducted to explore the factors that may influence the organic supply chain and growth of the organic business. Several theories such as the diffusion of innovation theory, theory of planned behavior, marketing system and price of organic products, and quality function deployment have been studied and proposed to enhance the understanding of the issue. The integration of all these literature and theories has attracted the researcher’s attention. Thus, this study aims to explore the influence of information systems, e-technology, and the dynamics of the actors (consumer, retailer, intermediaries, transporter, farmer, and basic suppliers) on the organic supply chain enhancing the growth of the organic business. By adopting secondary data with collected data (primary data) using self-administrated questionnaires the research work was evaluated. A total of 389 responses from the organic agriculture industrial actors, consumers, and transporters were collected using stratified random sampling methods. To inspect and analyze data, Path Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) techniques were used with AMOS. The results of the study indicated that the proposed model provided a good understanding of the factors influencing the organic supply chain. From the result, it was also revealed that the organic supply chain has a significant impact on the growth of organic farming and organic consumers and the performance of organic businesses. The research objectives of this study were accomplished and all research hypotheses were supported. This study theoretically offers useful information and collected data might help to further research relevant to the organic supply chain. In addition, the study finds a way to foster a better understanding and knowledge of the organic supply chain. It is encouraged to do future research to study the factors and information and impact of the organic supply chain from various aspects.Keywords: organic supply chain, e-technology, organic agriculture, growth of organic business, SEM, AMOS

The COVID-19 pandemic and its induced lockdown resulted in huge disruptions that affected access to and availability of healthcare commodities at different levels of the supply chain system. An understanding of the pandemic impact in different areas will help in designing strategies to mitigate future disruptions. This study was designed to evaluate the supply chain performance of HIV/AIDS commodities through the review of key performance indicators in health facilities in Anambra State, Nigeria, during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. A facility-based cross- sectional study was conducted across 27 selected health facilities in the state. Facilities were selected using a stratified random sampling technique. Data was collected using a combination of a semi-structured questionnaire and observational checklists adapted from a previous study and the Logistics Indicators Assessment Tool (LIAT). Data obtained were analyzed using SPSS software (version 23). A total number of 44 focal personnel managing the HIV/AIDS supply chain in 17 secondary health centres (SHCs) and 10 primary health centres (PHCs) participated in the study. Tenofovir/Lamivudine/Dolutegravir (300/300/50mg) and Nevirapine 10mg/ml oral suspension were the two most available drugs at 85.19% and 78% respectively whereas Determine and Uni-Gold were the most available non- drug commodities at 92.59%, and 81.48% respectively during the lockdown period. The Stat-Pak test kit was stocked out in 30% of the facilities during the lockdown with emergency orders of at least one HIV commodity recorded in 37% of the facilities during this period. Expired products were recorded in 48% of the health facilities and this amounted to a loss of USD 4,027.25. The COVID-19 crisis exposed vulnerabilities in Anambra State's HIV/AIDS commodity supply chain. Instances of emergency orders, stock-outs, and wastage highlight the need for a more resilient system. Investing in an agile supply chain is crucial for ensuring uninterrupted access to essential healthcare commodities during disruptions.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between green procurement and the performance of food and beverage manufacturing firms in Kenya. Methodology: An explanatory research design was employed in the study. All 172 of Kenya's registered food and manufacturing businesses were considered using the census approach. Using questionnaires, primary data was gathered. This study employed 172 questionnaires. Version 25 of the SPSS statistical program was used to analyze the data. The primary data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistical analysis techniques. Descriptive statistics gives the profile of the respondents, that is, the frequencies and their percentages; whereas inferential statistics adopts a hierarchical, moderated, multiple regression analysis model in order to determine the effect of the explanatory variable. Findings: The study found that there is a correlation of 0.701 between green procurement and the success of Kenyan food and beverage manufacturing companies. Green procurement accounted for 48.7% of the variation in the performance of food and beverage manufacturing firms in Kenya. Unique Contribution to Theory, Practice and Policy: Strategic Choice theory was adopted and validated. By incorporating stakeholders, assessing policy choices, making educated judgments, aligning with capacities, adjusting to changes, minimizing risks, and encouraging cooperation for sustainable procurement practises, Strategic Choice Theory could assist Kenya in developing a complete green procurement policy. The study found that implementing green procurement would; conserve the environment, reduce unnecessary costs to a firm, improve customer satisfaction, improve firm reputation, increase product acceptance, and increase the sales volume.
