This comprehensive book delves into the realm of blockchain applications in food supply chain management, offering a multifaceted approach from both theoretical and practical perspectives. Through the utilization of the case study research method, it conducts an empirical investigation into the reasons and methods by which food companies adopt blockchain technology. Furthermore, it presents a conceptual framework derived from the case findings and existing literature, providing a solid foundation for further exploration.

The book not only validates academic insights into critical success factors and barriers but also identifies the precise implementation process to address the fundamental question of 'how.' What sets this work apart is its unique application of the innovation process model and the practice-based view (PBV) to studies on food supply chains and blockchain. By building upon the original model and theory, the book enriches our understanding of blockchain implementation, making it an invaluable resource for researchers and practitioners alike who are interested in exploring the adoption of blockchain in food supply chain management.
