Abstract: This review examines the social consequences of digital food provisioning (DFP), the application of digital technologies to food acquisition and home delivery, and its potential for shaping equitable food futures and promoting food justice. The paper specifically investigates how DFP influences consumer behavior, labor conditions, and social relations, drawing insights from current studies and empirical evidence. By synthesizing a wide range of scholarly work, this review aims to uncover how digital transformations in food provisioning can either reinforce or mitigate social inequalities and discusses strategies to leverage DFP towards achieving a more equitable and just food system.
