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.

“…To establish a secure CSP platform apart from encrypting data homomorphically, there is a need for a robust, tamperproof, and verifiable security architecture. These are the properties of the BC architecture that consists of a distributed ledger (or database) of congregated transactions managed by a peer-to-peer network working to validate blocks [35]. CSP and BC technologies look conflicting in architecture, namely, centralisation versus decentralisation as illustrated in Table 2.…”

Due to its wide accessibility, cloud services are susceptible to attacks. Data manipulation is a serious threat to data integrity which can occur in cloud computing -a relatively new offering under the umbrella of cloud services. Data can be tampered with, and malicious actors could use this to their advantage. Cloud computing clients in various application domains want to be assured that their data is accurate and trustworthy. On another spectrum, blockchain is a tamper-proof digital ledger that can be used alongside cloud technology to provide a tamper-proof cloud computing environment. This paper proposes a scheme that combines cloud computing with blockchain that assures data integrity for all homomorphic encryption schemes. To overcome the cloud service provider's (CSP) ultimate authority over the data, the proposed scheme relies on the Byzantine Fault Tolerance consensus to build a distributed network of processing CSPs based on the client requirements. After certain computations performed by all CSPs, they produce a master hash value for their database. To ensure immutable data is produced, master hash values are preserved in Bitcoin or Ethereum blockchain networks. The master hash values can be obtained by tracking the block header address for verification purposes. A theoretical analysis of the overhead costs associated with creating master hash values for each of the cryptocurrencies is presented. We found that Ethereum leads to lower client financial costs and better online performance than Bitcoin. We also specify the data security requirements the proposed scheme provides, the ground-level implementation, and future work. The proposed verification scheme is based on public cryptocurrency as a back-end service and does not require additional setup actions by the client other than a wallet for the chosen cryptocurrency.

Dating back many millennia, agriculture is an ancient practice in the evolution of civilization. It was developed when humans thought about it and concluded that not everyone in the community was required to produce food. Instead, specialized labor, tools, and techniques could help people achieve surplus food for their community. Since then, agriculture has continuously evolved across the ages and has occupied a vital, synergistic position in the existence of humanity. The evolution of agriculture was based on a compulsion to feed the growing population, and, importantly, maintain the quality and traceability of food, prevent counterfeit products, and modernize and optimize yield. Recent trends and advancements in blockchain technology have some significant attributes that are ideal for agriculture. The invention and implementation of blockchain have caused a fair share of positive disruptions and evolutionary adoption in agriculture to modernize the domain. Blockchain has been adopted at various stages of the agriculture lifecycle for improved evolution. This work presents an intense survey of the literature on how blockchain has positively impacted and continues to influence various market verticals in agriculture, the challenges and the future.
