The agricultural supply chain consists of many participants like producer (generally farmer), consumer (people who buy the product and consume them), wholesalers, and retailers. This system consists of many levels of mediator parties as well which have different policies of the commission. Due to the difference in these policies, the producers do not get their fair share of price. Due to the varying prices, consumers also suffer as they do not get the right quality of the product for the right price. There are no central records maintained regarding the transactions between the participants which could lead to many serious problems. To tackle the above-mentioned issues, we need a holistic approach that can provide solutions to most of the above issues. Here, blockchain-based solution can be used to achieve traceability (we can trace the whereabouts of the product, the origin of the product, etc.), transparency (so that a sense of trust is achieved), fairness (by removing the intermediaries), assurance of food safety and pricing (so that nobody has to bear the loss).

In the digitized world, everything and products are being designed and used with the help of advanced technologies. The Agriculture industry is not an exception; Walmart has started tackling food safety by using blockchain technology in the supply chain. As agriculture is one of the most influential sectors for the world economy and has also a great impact on the livelihood of the people. As the agriculture industry is growing globally, it is difficult to keep an eye on the information of the whole food supply chain management. So be able to increase the transparency, food safety and customer satisfaction digitalization of food is the need of the hour. In context to Indian economy very little research has been done in the area of addressing farmer’s problem by using blockchain technology. This research will help in addressing the major issues of traceability, transparency and quality and trust in food supply chain management and the hybridisation of agriculture field by using blockchain technology. This new technology has led to new products and new methods to organise the supply chain in an efficient way and analyze the blockchain framework for the traceability of products. This study aims to find out the challenges and issues faced by the farmers in the food supply chain and to propose the relevant efficient and transparent solutions that will benefit farmers as well as customers in the long run.

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.
