“…Overall, smart farming practices help in enhancing farm and production efficiency (O'Grady and O'Hare 2017), thereby minimising the supply-demand risks. Advantages of using smart farming practices and intelligent decision-making tools that go beyond the farm level are optimal resource allocation practices leading to reduced wastages (Wang, Lu, and Capareda 2020), reduce the environmental footprint and enhance sustainable agricultural practices (Kernecker et al 2020), reduce the energy and water footprints (Mekonnen et al 2018;Walter et al 2017) thereby improving food quality and safety (Kamble, Gunasekaran, and Sharma 2020) and enhancing the overall food security (Lioutas and Charatsari 2020).…”

The agricultural supply chains (ASCs) are exposed to unprecedented risks following COVID-19. It is necessary to investigate the impact of risks and to create resilient ASC organisations. In this study, we have identified and assessed the ASC risks caused by disruptions. These threats were assessed using Fuzzy Linguistic Quantifier Order Weighted Aggregation (FLQ-OWA). The findings reveal that supply risks, demand risks, financial risks, logistics and infrastructure risks, management and operational, policy and regulation, and biological and environmental risks have a significant impact in ASC depending upon the organisations scope and scale. Various strategies such as adoption of industry 4.0 technologies, supply chain collaboration and shared responsibility is identified for sustainable future. Theoretical and managerial implications are provided based on the outcomes of the study.

“…Blockchain, as a service, can be developed by software professionals, particularly by the ERP and cloud-computing companies [134]. Concerning its implementation, traceability is the most significant reason for blockchain technology's implementation in agricultural SC, followed by auditability, immutability, and provenance [135]. It helps the practitioners to design the strategies for blockchain technology-based projects' execution and implementation in agriculture, thereby ensuring food safety and sustainable agriculture supply chains.…”

Through a systematic review of publications in reputed peer-reviewed journals, this paper investigates the role of blockchain technology in sustainable supply chain management. It uses the What, Who, Where, When, How, and Why (5W+1H) pattern to formulate research objectives and questions. The review considers publications since 2015, and it includes 187 papers published in 2017, 2018, 2019, and the early part of 2020, since no significant publications were found in the year 2015 or 2016 on this subject. It proposes a reusable classification framework—emerging technology literature classification level (ETLCL) framework—based on grounded theory and the technology readiness level for conducting literature reviews in various focus areas of an emerging technology. Subsequently, the study uses ETLCL to classify the literature on our focus area. The results show traceability and transparency as the key benefits of applying blockchain technology. They also indicate a heightened interest in blockchain-based information systems for sustainable supply chain management starting since 2017. This paper offers invaluable insights for managers and leaders who envision sustainability as an essential component of their business. The findings demonstrate the disruptive power and role of blockchain-based information systems. Given the relative novelty of the topic and its scattered literature, the paper helps practitioners examining its various aspects by directing them to the right information sources.

“…In the food supply chain, from the raw material suppliers to customers, products information can be recorded along the whole supply chain. Multiple stakeholders save the copies of records, which can be retrieved on demand anytime [33]. For example, the end users, consumers, can obtain the detailed information on the products include authenticity and origins, etc.…”

“…Therefore the immutability feature can minimize the human intervention on records. This feature is especially useful during food recall, which can prevent any related stakeholders change history and escape from responsibilities [19,33]. It is powerful proof for investigating the possibilities of food crisis.…”

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one out of 10 people get sick from eating contaminated food. Complex food production process and globalization make food supply chain more delicate. Many technologies have been investigated in recent years to address food insecurity and achieve efficiency in dealing with food recalls. One of the most promising technologies is Blockchain, which has already been used successfully in financial aspects, such as bitcoin, and it is attracting interests from food supply chain organizations. As blockchain has characteristics, such as decentralization, security, immutability, smart contract, it is therefore expected to improve sustainable food supply chain management and food traceability. This paper applies a content-analysis based literature review in blockchain adoption within food supply chain. We propose four benefits. Blockchain can help to improve food traceability, information transparency, and recall efficiency; it can also be combined with Internet of things (IoT) to achieve better efficiency. We also propose five potential challenges, including lack of deeper understanding of blockchain, technology difficulties, raw data manipulation, difficulties of getting all stakeholders on board, and the deficiency of regulations.
