Blockchain as a strategic enabler of agri-food sustainability

Motivated by the recent surge of interestm in blockchain adoption across industries, this paper has theoretically examined the potential advantages andmajor barriers to blockchain adoption in the agri-food sector. Recent research and pilot studies suggest that blockchain may promote agri-food sustainability,however blockchain adoption is still in its infancy and further studies are needed to accurately assess the advantages and limitations of using lockchain-based technologies in the agri-food sector. We acknowledge the shortcomings of the present study due to its conceptual nature, but drawing on the existing theoretical and mempirical literature, it may act as a springboard form future research directions.
