Abstract: Abstract Managing a perishable food supply chain is a challenging task because of the short lifetime of the product and the uncertainty of demand. Perishable products require special plans with environmental, social and economic effects. Therefore, the sustainability of food supply chains plays a key role in supply chain efficiency. This paper designs a sustainable perishable food supply chain network under uncertainty. A multi-objective mixed-integer linear programming model is proposed that optimizes total costs, emissions, and shipping time to meet environmental demand. Since the demand parameter is assumed to be uncertain, the two-stage planning optimization approach under the scenario has been used. Also, the method of sum weights has been applied to make the model single-objective, and some tests are performed to select the best coefficients. In the end, deterministic and stochastic objective values compare with the Expected value, Wait and see, and Here and now methods.
