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.

“…The largest segment of the research is dedicated to the exploration of blockchain technology, with 20 papers exclusively discussing its implications and applications in the agri-food supply chain [8], [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38]. This is closely followed by 16 papers that solely focus on the Internet of Things (IoT) and its transformative potential in ensuring transparency from farm to table.…”

The agri-food supply chain (ASC), integral to global sustenance, faces pressing challenges related to transparency and traceability. This systematic literature review (SLR) delves into the transformative potential of emerging digital technologies, namely Blockchain, IoT, and Digital Financial Solutions, in addressing these challenges. Through a rigorous selection process, 88 papers were meticulously reviewed, revealing a growing academic interest in the domain. The review underscores the individual and combined potentials of these technologies in enhancing transparency, fostering trust, and ensuring efficiency in the ASC. The study further highlights the synergistic benefits of integrating these technologies, emphasizing their role in real-time monitoring, secure transactions, and collaborative operations. The findings illuminate a promising future for the ASC, advocating for continued research and innovation in harnessing these technologies to meet the evolving demands of consumers and stakeholders.

“…Moreover, blockchain technology has been linked to addressing food safety challenges globally (Kshetri, 2019). By enhancing traceability and transparency, blockchain can help build trust among stakeholders in the food supply chain (Jarka, 2019). The potential of blockchain in revolutionizing food supply chains has also been recognized in various regions, such as Vietnam Tran & Trinh (2021) and Thailand (Tipmontian et al, 2020), where studies have analyzed the SWOT aspects and management perspectives of blockchain adoption, respectively.…”

This concept paper explores the integration of blockchain technology into food supply chains to enhance global food safety. In recent years, food safety has become a critical concern worldwide, with frequent outbreaks of foodborne illnesses and contamination incidents. Traditional supply chain systems often lack transparency, traceability, and efficiency, leading to challenges in identifying the source of contamination and preventing its spread. Blockchain technology offers a promising solution to these challenges by providing a decentralized, immutable, and transparent ledger system. By recording each transaction and transfer of food products on a blockchain, stakeholders can trace the journey of food items from farm to fork in real-time. This enables rapid identification of contaminated products, facilitating targeted recalls and reducing the scope and impact of foodborne illness outbreaks. Key benefits of integrating blockchain technology into food supply chains include enhanced transparency, increased trust among consumers, improved efficiency in recalls and audits, and opportunities for process optimization and cost reduction. However, successful implementation requires collaboration among stakeholders, investment in infrastructure, and addressing technical and regulatory challenges. This concept paper outlines a strategic framework for implementing blockchain technology in food supply chains, including stakeholder engagement, pilot testing, scalability considerations, and regulatory compliance. By leveraging blockchain technology, we can ensure greater food safety, protect public health, and strengthen confidence in the global food supply chain. Keywords: Food Safety, Blockchain, Technology, Supply.
