Keywords:
Blockchain, Internet-of-Things, food supply chain, Enterprise resource planningAbstract
The past decade has viewed the importance of knowledge management and supply chain integration to ensure high profitability and sustainability in the business. Blockchain is the current trending technology that can revolutionize the existing supply chain integration. In order to fully understand the blockchain application in the food supply chain, a comprehensive study of related topics such as Internet of Things, Enterprise Resource Planning and Radio Frequency Identification has been done. The research explores various issues regarding the relevance, applicability, and implications of blockchain technology in the food industry through a literature study. This also focuses on identifying the key variables that can have a significant effect on blockchain implementation. Finally, the paper presents current challenges and future research directions.
