Blockchain is an evolving technology with promising applications in various sectors. The introduction of blockchain in the industry has the potential to provide a significant competitive advantage, even though it still is in the early stages of its adoption, particularly in supply chains. The implementation of blockchain technologies affects all the operational aspects of a production and supply chain system, including its sustainable performance. In these terms, there is a raising of concerns regarding the impact of the integration of blockchain on the economic viability of the organization, the total environmental footprint that results from its use, and the social matters regarding its control, safety assurance, and governance. The scope of this paper is to identify the implications of the integration of blockchain technologies in the industry concerning the three main pillars of sustainability.

“…The identification of solutions that restore the confidence of consumers, and provide them with information, and also to managers, is done through the use of IS (Wognum, Bremmers, Trienekens, van der Vorst, & Bloemhof, 2011). Food security is currently seen as a relevant issue in the agri-food supply chain, and the legal and regulatory framework is increasingly restrictive (Manning, 2018). According to Liao, Marshall, and Swatman (2012), the use of Web 2.0 by primary producers can also reduce costs and improve marketing opportunities.…”

An integrated information systems architecture for the agri‐food industry

As information systems and technologies grow in usage in the agri‐food industry, the same has happened to the relevance of Information Systems (IS) that allow for a parallel control, monitoring and management of the organizations' activities and business processes. As the literature proves, the benefits of implementing adequate and interoperable IS are very numerous and tend to represent a significant determinant regarding the organizations' overall success. Despite this, to the best of our knowledge there currently is no IS architecture designed to serve the specificities of the agri‐food industry. With this study a novel information systems architecture for the agri‐food sector is proposed. The artefact is composed by 12 integrated main components and a set of subcomponents aimed at supporting all the monitoring, control and management activities. In order to validate the proposed architecture a case study was implemented at a mushroom production organization. This allowed us to perceive the ability of our artefact to serve as the basis for the development of IS that address all of the organization's business and environmental needs.

“…Varzakas and Jukes (1997) argued that globalization has driven global integration and standardization of markets and complex interdependence that has then led to the emergence of isomorphism in structures, attitudes, and norms especially within transnational corporations. Manning, Soon, de Aguiar, Eastham, and Higashi (2017) noted that the concept of supply chain pressure has increasingly emerged within supply chain literature over the last decade especially the notion of integration and greater isomorphic pressure (Delmas & Toffel, 2004;DiMaggio & Powell, 1983;Esfahbodi, Zhang, Watson, & Zhang, 2017;Gimenez, Sierra, & Rodan, 2012;Manning, 2018c;Sarkis, Zhu, & Lai, 2011;van Plaggenhoef, 2007). In essence, homogenization, or isomorphism, creates and spreads a common set of values, norms, and rules, which then results in similar practices and organizational structures (Othman, Ahmad, & Zailani, 2009) often driven by a need to conform not only to the external environment, but also the context that the environment itself promotes (Czinkota, Kaufmann, & Basile, 2014).…”

The aim of this paper is to review the development of food safety management systems (FSMS) from their origins in the 1950s to the present. The food safety challenges in modern food supply systems are explored and it is argued that there is a need for a more holistic thinking approach to food safety management. The narrative review highlights that while the transactional elements of how FSMS are developed, validated, implemented, monitored, and verified remains largely unchanged, how organizational culture frames the operation and efficacy of FSMS is becoming more important. The evolution of a wider academic and industry understanding of both the influence of food safety culture (FS‐culture) and also how such culture frames and enables, or conversely restricts the efficacy of the FSMS is crucial for consumer well‐being. Potential research gaps worthy of further study are identified as well as recommendations given for the application of the research findings within the food industry.
