“…Information can be tracked and organized using IoT devices such as QR codes, wireless sensor networks (WSN), and radio frequency identification (RFID). Blockchain can improve the food supply chain traceability [110,111]. This shows how blockchain can also enhance the security and quality of agri-food.…”

Blockchain Adoption in Food Supply Chains: A Systematic Literature Review on Enablers, Benefits, and Barriers

Globalization of the food supply chain (FSCs) has brought significant challenges to the food system, such as fraud, safety, security, and quality issues due to information asymmetry. Globalization also increases the difficulty and complexity of solving these problems to improve FSC efficiency. Blockchain technology (BCT) has proven to have the potential to transform FSC based on its potential benefits. However, studies of BCT adoption in FSC are relatively new and scarce. This study systematically reviews the current state of research that has been done in the space of blockchain and food supply chains. In carrying out the research, a systematic literature review (SLR) was deployed using two prominent databases, Scopus and Business Source Complete (EBSCO), covering articles from 2016 to 2021, and 52 articles were synthesized to identify blockchain enablers, benefits, and barriers. Based on this review, a conceptual framework is developed for blockchain adoption within the food supply chain. The study identified scalability, interoperability, high cost, lack of expertise, and regulations as the most likely barriers to blockchain adoption. This study contributes to the body of knowledge by providing insights into blockchain adoption in the food supply chain. In addition, it offers evidence-based direction for other industries to build their blockchain strategies.

“…Most studies of BCT in the agri-food sector have focused mainly on software aspects [30]. The first wave of blockchain applications in the food sector addressed issues of trust, transparency, and information sharing among stakeholders in the food chain [40], which will likely play an important role in traceability management for agri-food [41,42].…”

Food systems are both contributing to and affected by environmental degradation and climate change. The transition towards resilient and sustainable food systems is essential to ensure food security and minimise negative environmental impacts. Innovative technologies can accelerate this transition. Blockchain technology (BCT) is attracting attention as it can deliver transparency to complex global food supply chains and has the potential to guide current food production towards better sustainability and efficiency. This case study investigated the opportunities that BCT can offer to food supply chains. Qualitative interviews with eight main BCT providers were conducted to evaluate the current state of BCT and put it into perspective by mapping out advantages, disadvantages, incentives, motives, and expectations connected to its implementation in global food systems. A thematic analysis showed that, while BCT was considered beneficial by all interviewees, uptake is slow due to high implementation costs and the lack of incentives for companies throughout the food chain from farms to food industry and retail. Results further revealed that the advantages of BCT go beyond communication of trustworthy information and development of closer producer–consumer relationships. In fact, it can provide the opportunity to decrease food waste, enhance working conditions throughout the supply chain, and promote sustainable consumption habits. As BCT may be increasingly used in the food supply chain, the results give a basis for future research that may leverage both qualitative and quantitative methods to examine actors’ behaviours. Also, the importance of improving user experiences through functional applications and software to facilitate the adoption of the technology is stressed.
