Abstract

Purpose Blockchain technology (BCT), since its emergence touted to be disruptive, is gaining momentum, especially in the agri-food system owing to its multiple benefits.Design/methodology/approach The authors attempted to conduct a systematic bibliometric visualization analysis of the BCT in the agri-food system. The analysis investigated the list of countries and institutions that conducted research on BCT in agriculture, growth trend analysis in research publications, bibliographic coupling of journals using the VOSviewer tool, and the countries and institutions researching BCT.Findings The authors discovered that China, the USA and India were the highly active countries in BCT research and publication. However, India has only limited research collaboration with other countries as compared to China and the USA. The keyword analysis indicates the role of BCT in order to maintain the transparency of the supply chain by means of protecting the privacy of the personal data of the stakeholders.Research limitations/implicationsMore research related to the implementation of BCT in livestock, fishery and agro-forestry sector is recommended.Social implications The case examined is of particular interest as it is concerned with efficient supply chain management.Originality/value This study adds value and evidence to the scope and benefits of BCT by providing a comprehensive literature review, with a special focus on the opportunities and challenges concerned with implementation of BCT in the Indian agri-food system.HighlightsBlockchain technology (BCT) – a promising tool to resolve issues in agriculture supply chain.BCT ensures transparency and protection of information along the supply chain transactions.China, the USA and India are the highly active countries in BCT research and publication.Multiple potential benefits to stakeholders are attributed to the BCT in the agri-food system.The key challenge is to bridge the digital gap between developed and developing nations.Future research on BCT should aim at easing and undistorted competition among stakeholders.
区块链技术在农业食品系统中的应用:系统的文献计量可视化分析和政策要求
区块链技术(BCT)自出现以来被吹捧为具有颠覆性,由于其多重效益,特别是在农业食品系统中获得了动力。设计/方法/方法作者试图对农业食品系统中的BCT进行系统的文献计量可视化分析。该分析调查了开展农业领域BCT研究的国家和机构名单、研究出版物的增长趋势分析、使用VOSviewer工具对期刊进行书目耦合以及开展BCT研究的国家和机构。作者发现,中国、美国和印度是BCT研究和发表最活跃的国家。然而,与中国和美国相比,印度与其他国家的研究合作有限。关键词分析表明,BCT通过保护利益相关者的个人数据隐私来维持供应链的透明度。研究限制/影响建议对在畜牧业、渔业和农林部门实施生物技术进行更多的研究。社会影响的情况下,审查是特别感兴趣的,因为它涉及到有效的供应链管理。本研究通过提供全面的文献综述,为BCT的范围和益处增加了价值和证据,并特别关注在印度农业食品系统中实施BCT所涉及的机遇和挑战。重点介绍了区块链技术(BCT)——解决农业供应链问题的一个有前途的工具。BCT确保供应链交易信息的透明度和保护。中国、美国和印度是BCT研究和出版高度活跃的国家。农业食品系统中的BCT可为利益相关者带来多重潜在利益。关键的挑战是弥合发达国家和发展中国家之间的数字鸿沟。未来的BCT研究应着眼于缓解和不扭曲的利益相关者之间的竞争。
