Abstract

Food supply chain traceability from farm to fork is currently critical for each food structure. The traceability of food supply chains is the foundation of a sustainable production system. Nevertheless, traceability by itself does not validate the aforementioned assertions. In this regard, firms must purposefully identify their sustainability goals, implement proper data collecting and validation methodologies into their procedures, and select the correct technology to satisfy these demands. Blockchain technology, with its digital capabilities, is a potential solution for enabling traceability of the food supply chain system, overcoming difficulties, and increasing sustainability and resilience across the food system. This paper utilizes a systematic literature review and thematic analysis to establish traceability requirements throughout the food supply chain and show how blockchain capabilities enable the food supply chain to establish farm-to-fork traceability. Based on the findings, nine themes are found for food traceability requirements. Furthermore, the most mentioned three blockchain capabilities are visibility, smart contracts, and integration. The most mentioned first three FSC traceability requirements are logistics, provenance, and quality. When the interactions mentioned in the literature were analysed, the interaction of visibility and food logistics is the most mentioned interaction with 44%, and the second interaction is between visibility and provenance with 36%.
