Abstract: This study explores the continuing challenge of ensuring food security in an era of growing climate uncertainty and environmental decline. Weak coordination among institutions and inefficiencies within food supply chains have often limited the success of sustainable initiatives, despite an increasing commitment to climate-smart policies. The purpose of this study is to understand how climate-smart governance can improve food security through the influence of sustainable supply chain practices. Using a narrative review approach, data were gathered from the Scopus database and examined through an integrative thematic analysis to identify common ideas and relationships linking governance, sustainability, and the resilience of food systems. The review shows that effective climate-smart governance contributes to stronger food security when supported by sustainable supply chain practices such as green logistics, reduced food loss, digital innovation, and collaboration among stakeholders. These practices make governance efforts more effective by improving how resources are managed, reducing environmental pressure, and helping supply chains adapt to change. As a result, they support better food availability, access, and stability. The study makes a theoretical contribution by proposing a framework that positions sustainable supply chain practices as the connecting element between governance structures and food security outcomes. Practically, the findings provide valuable guidance for policymakers, supply chain professionals, and agricultural organizations to create more integrated and responsive governance systems that can promote sustainability, encourage innovation, and build resilient food networks capable of adapting to future global challenges.
