Blockchain technology (BC) is gaining interest from both academics and practitioners that recognize its potential to face food safety, authenticity, and integrity issues. However, little is empirically known, and existing literature is dominated by conceptual studies highlighting the many promises of the technology. Following the calls for research aimed at learning from BC pioneers, we investigate an in-depth case study and derive insights on how BC combined with internet of things (IoT) can impact food supply chains. We adopted the agency theory as theoretical lens to better interpret empirical evidence.

Abstract

Blockchain technology (BC) is gaining interest from both academics and practitioners that recognize its potential to face food safety, authenticity, and integrity issues. However, little is empirically known, and existing literature is dominated by conceptual studies highlighting the many promises of the technology. Following the calls for research aimed at learning from BC pioneers, we investigate an in-depth case study and derive insights on how BC combined with internet of things (IoT) can impact food supply chains. We adopted the agency theory as theoretical lens to better interpret empirical evidence.
