BACKGROUND Food security can benefit from the technology's transparency, relatively low transaction costs and instantaneous applications. A blockchain is a distributed database of records in the form of encrypted blocks, or a public ledger of all transactions or digital events that have been executed and shared among participating parties and can be verified at any time in the future. Generally, the robust and decentralized functionality of the blockchain is used for global financial systems, but it can easily be expanded to contracts and operations such as tracking of the global supply chain. In the precision agriculture context, Information and Communications Technology can be further implemented with a blockchain infrastructure to enable new farm systems and e‐agriculture schemes. RESULTS The purpose of this review is to show a panorama of the scientific studies (enriched by a terms mapping analysis) on the use of blockchain in the agri‐food sector, from both an entirely computational and an applicative point of view. As evidenced by the network analysis, the reviewed studies mainly focused on software aspects (e.g. the architecture and smart contracts). However, some aspects regarding the different blockchain knots (computers always connected to the blockchain network) having the role to store and distribute an updated copy of each block in a food supply‐chain, result of crucial importance. CONCLUSION These technologies appear very promising and rich of great potential showing a good flexibility for applications in several sectors but still immature and hard to apply due to their complexity. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry

“…is no, blockchain should not be used. However, supply chain management systems deal with physical assets and yet they are among the most frequently reported use cases we found in the list of literature (e.g., [118]- [126], [136], [157]). In all these cases the physical assets are digitalized to be brought on-chain.…”

Blockchain for Cities—A Systematic Literature Review

Blockchain is considered one of the most disruptive technologies of our time. Numerous cities around the world are launching blockchain initiatives as part of the overall efforts toward shaping the urban future. However, the infancy stage of the blockchain industry leads to a severe gap between the knowledge we have and the actions urban policy makers are taking. This paper is an effort to narrow this rift. We provide a systematic literature review on concrete blockchain use cases proposed by the research community. At the macro-level, we discuss and organize use cases from 159 selected papers into nine sectors recognized as crucial for sustainable and smart urban future. At the micro-level, we identify a component-based framework and analyze the design and prototypes of blockchain systems studied in a subset of 71 papers. The high-level use case review allows us to illustrate the relationship between them and the four pillars of urban sustainability: social, economic, environmental, and governmental. The system level analysis helps us highlight interesting inconsistencies between well-known blockchain applicability decision rules and the approaches taken by the literature. We also offer two classification methodologies for blockchain use cases and elaborate on how they can be applied to stimulate cross-sector insights in the blockchain knowledge domain.INDEX TERMS Bitcoin, blockchain, computer networks, consensus, crypto token, distributed computing, Ethereum, Hyperledger Fabric, systematic literature review, smart city, smart contract, system analysis and design, peer-to-peer computing, urban sustainability, use case.

“…Such fraud has severe impact on consumers (Tian, 2016). Based on the points previously stated, FSCM indeed is facing many problems such as supplier raw materials quality, manufacturer original equipment, packaging, safely transportation, and warehousing (Nakasumi, 2017;Chen et al, 2017). Therefore, it is deemed imperative that a new mechanism to improve the existing FSCM is needed.…”

Distributed ledger technology is an immutable data storage and transparent system, which is a constituent component that empowers the Food supply Chain Management (FSCM). Due to the immutable data feature, the scalability of blockchain technology is quite a challenge. In essence, blockchain data may grow rapidly as compared to the existing approach, and such circumstances is an issue that need to be addressed. Also, high volumes of data process for each transaction verification couple with long period of time for computation, lead to high overhead and resource consumption. This study discusses improved methods to reduce the amount of data generated by system. The proposed method employs the header verification system for transaction to reduce data growth and data processing time. During transaction, this method will verify only the header file information with using Merkle tree. This system is able to store each transaction of a node and form blockchain. Subsequently, each node is capable to verify valid transactions only by use of header data without maintaining full data of blockchain. The expected outcome of the scheme is the significant decrease of data growth in blockchain.
