This study models sustainable Food Consumption Behaviour (FCB) using an integrated framework combining Social-Ecological Systems (SES) theory and the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB). Study addresses critical gaps in understanding of FCB by incorporating Consumer Psychological Resilience (CPR) and Consumer Psychological Adaptability (CPA). Study synthesizes insights form 144 peer-reviewed articles through a systematic narrative literature review using SCOPUS and Google Scholar databases. Findings reveal resilience maintains sustainable practices under adversity, while adaptability fosters flexibility in dynamic environments. This dual focus bridges macro-level ecological insights with individual psychological factors, extending TPB's predictive power to address external barriers in sustainable consumption. The study provides actionable insights for fostering resilience and adaptability, supporting scalable sustainable initiatives. The study operationalizes resilience and adaptability at the individual level through SES and TPB integration. Therefore, the research lays the groundwork for future empirical validation across diverse cultural and economic contexts explicitly recognizing potential variations in resilience and adaptability across these contexts. • Integrates SES theory and TPB to explain sustainable food consumption behaviour. • Introduces resilience and adaptability as key psychological determinants of behaviour. • Offers a novel framework linking ecological and behavioral drivers of consumption. • Conducts a systematic narrative review of 144 peer-reviewed articles. • Provides policy insights to promote consumer sustainability across diverse contexts.
