The scientific debate has been reignited globally, emphasising the importance of food banks. Although there are comprehensive studies on food banks, the effort to conduct a systematic literature review (SLR) on this particular research issue has been challenging since it fails to include the procedures, making it difficult for scholars to replicate or interpret. This research aims to review the existing studies about food bank distribution efficiency via smart mobility. An SLR using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines was conducted. The search strategy includes identification, screening, eligibility and inclusion on established online databases, including Web of Science and Scopus. This paper investigates the efficiency of implementing a smart mobility system as one of the foodbank's distribution channels. This paper examined definitions of the food bank and smart mobility and conceptualised food bank distribution efficiency via smart mobility.
